Did someone say “spaghetti”?? If
there was EVER a staple food that should always be in a cupboard, it would be
spaghetti (or some other shape of pasta).
You can boil up some water, heat up some sauce, and have dinner on your
plate in minutes!
We make PESTO out of the basil in our garden at the end of every summer
and freeze tons of it. Then we can just
unfreeze a packet and put it on pasta whenever we want something super
tasty!! So even in the middle of winter,
our garden is bringing us love. J

| Can you say "PESTO PARTY"?? |
Anyway, this review is not about our pesto (which would OF COURSE get 5
stars…) it is about this TJ’s spaghetti.
It is GOOD! At only .99 cents I also
think it is a bargain. It cooked up
perfectly and was a good base for our recent garden creation: this spaghetti, a bit of extra virgin olive
oil, garlic, green and red peppers from the garden, garden tomatoes, and garden
basil – served with a side of grilled egg plant straight out of the garden!!! It takes a hearty pasta to stand up to all
that garden goodness, and this one did it!!

| TADA - the AFTER!!! There is pasta under that pile of produce, trust me... |
The only suggestion I have is that somehow pasta makers get better
packaging. We cannot be the only 2
person family in this country that does not use a whole bag of pasta for one
meal… Once it is opened it is kind of
hard to store in the cupboard. I do not
worry about it going stale (since it is a dried product) but I put this bag
back a tiny bit incorrectly in the cupboard and the next thing you know PASTA seemed to be falling from the sky
onto my head, the counter, and the floor!
It is raining dried pasta!!!! If the
bag had a little Ziploc type closure on it that could be prevented. Something to consider, corporate office.
