On those days when you don't really feel like cooking and still need to get something out quickly and easily, this one's it. It's more like dressing up your spaghetti dish while getting in your protein, veggies and starch at the same time. Start by browning up Italian sausage into chunks (preferably without the casing but either will work) or lean ground beef, add garlic and onions (and mushrooms if I have any), add about 2 steamed squash (Ken's stepmom got him a microwavable steamer that I use all the time), then simmer the whole mixture in marinara sauce. Combine the sauce together with your favorite pasta and there should be enough to last you a second meal the next day (as in our case tonight). One trick to remake it for the next meal is to turn it into a creamy sauce (add cream, or creme fraiche in my case, while simmering), add a little chili pepper, then toss in a few shrimps. Ken liked it better the second time around (and who doesn't like creamy?).
