My hubby’s favorite dish is … spaghetti. It was originally a surprise to me, but that’s what he likes, so it makes my life easier when I’m short on time for cooking dinner. This easy standby dish can be made in a snap, and I like to serve it with warm bread and a fresh salad. When I made this dish, I didn’t have the energy to make biscuits or homemade rolls, so I improvised. What I used instead may surprise you.
