Spaghetti w/ Ground Lamb and Spinach
March 30, 2022 • 0 comments
Family Spaghetti night would never be the same again. Take your family to something 'new' with something 'old'. Grab some ground lamb meat, add to your favorite spaghetti sauce and Bon Appétit!
Don't have a sauce made or jarred? Not a problem, we were inspired by Food and Wine's recipe below. Spaghetti loved by many, but don't forget to try with a different pasta sometimes as well. Penne Rigate, Casarecce, Elbows, Linguini, Angel Hair, Bucatini are few different options if you are fresh out of Spaghetti noodles.
May this be your inspiration to change your traditional spaghetti night!
