Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

I have a recipe I call my “Proposal Spaghetti.”

Over the years, it’s also become…

“I’m Sorry I Spent Too Much on Those Shoes Spaghetti”

along with, “Sorry You Didn’t Make the Team Spaghetti”

and lots of other occasions.

But, it will always – first and foremost – be our “Proposal Spaghetti.”

I am so happy to share my Three Meat Mushroom Spaghetti recipe 

with you as part of a large Italian Dinner Feast Blog Hop. 

Please make sure you visit all of the great bloggers below who are

participating.  There are some amazing recipes!

Mine and The Hubbs’ first date was at a newer Italian

joint that had just opened in town.  We had a small booth,

red wine, the standard dripping candle in the chianti bottle.

Very romantic.  

Oh, did I mention this was a blind date?  :-O

We each ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. 

He ordered a side of meatballs.

It. Was. Awful. 

Beyond awful, in fact.

We walked next door to McDonald’s afterwards and ordered

Big Macs.  I think I fell in love with him right there.

Fast forward 10 months later, I surprised him with dinner

after he had been out in the field for a week.  He came home in

his smelly camouflage, mud-covered boots, sweat-covered body –

and I could have cared less.

I fixed my Three Meat-Mushroom Spaghetti.

The truth of the matter is he almost fell asleep at the table. 

He was a Marine and a tough one – but a week of no sleep

took it’s toll.

The next night, we had plans to take my son bowling. 

And right there, between the 4th and 5th pins,

he proposed to me and my son.

I think my son said YES! before I had the chance  🙂

A few days later, he told me that he figured if a woman could

cook spaghetti as good as I could, he’d better swoop me up before

someone else did. LOL

Hence, it became our “Proposal Spaghetti.” 

I have given this recipe to lots of gal-pals. 

I think the “proposal” record is 3-2.

Not bad I guess.

You may not need a “proposal”  right now – but keep in mind

it also works for “Oh! Did the Master Card Bill Come In?”

😀

Enjoy…. xxoo, Barb
