Spaghetti Night doesn't have to suck

So tonight, I made spaghetti - well, it was actually bow tie pasta. Instead of the heavy ground beef or turkey, I made it meatless with a lot of flavor. It's almost not blog worthy because it was so simple and I did not make the sauce completely from scratch. I started with store-bought, organic marinara. I added basil, (picked fresh from my "garden on deck"), crushed pink and green peppercorns, fresh Parmesan, and garlic salt (I know - I know - I only added a little). It took about 20 minutes from start to finish. It was delicious, meat-free and once again- a score with John. We didn't miss the meat- we added a light Caesar salad and it was a wonderful and quick dinner. This is what its all about.
