Simple Spaghetti Dish

A great simple meal or late night snack for anyone on a budget, and so simple you won't even need to print it out. Spaghetti is preferred, but any pasta will do. Add as much butter, salt, and pepper as you like. My siblings and I (Bird) ate this often growing up as a quick meal to cure the munchies, especially if there wasn't much in the pantry. It's also great for college kids, etc.

This was really nice and simple. I served it with Italian Rice Balls and it was great.

    Very yummy! I have never thought of adding butter to my noodles with just salt and pepper. This is tasty. I did use angel hair pasta instead. Great quick and easy recipe.Thanks for posting. I made it to serve with Bird's Easy Shrimp Scampi.

    So simple, but this is the way my DH loves his spaghetti! This time, my DH decided he wanted big wide noodles, so I didn't take a pic. Next time I will use some flaked smoked sea salt to kick it up a notch! Thanks for posting!

    As a child, this was the only way I would eat spaghetti - so it brought back good memories. Today I prefer it with sauces but occasionally make it like this for myself.
