i dont cook har har har, my wife is the one who cooks. so it depends with her mood. sometimes we have pasta ones a week. last night we had bake mac for dinner and the other week we had chili tuna spaghetti. sometimes we will have lasagna. when she cook spaghetti she will put lots of hotdog for that is the one our son loves much. kids loves spaghetti and we kids at heart do love it too.

oh i know that. my wife watches almost all the cooking shows on tv, i ron chef has three male chef, there is also jamie oliver, emeril, wolfgang puck, todd english, martin yan, tyler florence, anthony bordain, michael smith and more. har har har. so i know that there are more male chefs that are good than female thou we both enjoy watching guida, ina and cat. sorry but i dont have talent in cooking. i tried that years and year ago but was not successful. the food go on wasted than eaten. but i do help around if i can. i wash the dishes and utensils that my wife use. take out the trash and set the table. plus ran errands if she is missing an ingredient. so in cooking she in not all that tired a do lend a hand but i dont have talent in cooking. to give her a brake we sometimes dine outside. that is the break i give her. and we enjoy that too for no cooking and no setting of the table and no washing. a break for all of us. har har har

My fellow female will get mad at me but se7enthbird, don't you know that the male is the better cook? All the fine cuisines in the world are manned by male chefs? Amongst my friends, the male dominate the kitchen. If it is not to offensive to suggest, get the utensils and give your better half a break!

At my house we cook spagetti at least once a week. It is cheap to make and can serve many. This dish is a family favorite so it pleases everyone.

Back here, we are clannish. Whenever we gather together, spaghetti is served.
Unlike the Italians though, we prepare ours saucy and cheesy.
But the ingredients are quite expensive.

Hi bolt, welcome to mylot. Know what, I do not know how to cook alfredo pasta. And probably your mom doesn't know how, too. Perhaps you can concoct the spinach and the mushroom for your mom's delight. How about Mother's Day?

My husband will not eat pasta, so I do not fix it very often and usually when he is at work. I will fix it for my adult son. On the other hand we seem to have pizza two or three times every week.

not very often. but we love spaghetti most especially the kids. we cook only on occasions and that is very seldom. say, when one is to celebrate his birthday or any party. but there are still some times that the kids made special request, so wife forced to cook for them.

That's fine. I just hope there are more reasons to celebrate.

I'm of Italian descent and I could eat pasta three times a day every day. since I'm on a diet, I've eliminated pasta from my diet because I lose all control when it's sitting in front of me. My favorite way to eat it is with a little bit of olive oil, freshly ground pepper, and crushed red pepper on top. That's the only sauce that I need.

A friend said that that is really the Italian way of enjoying pasta - minimal sauce. I think I could adopt my taste to that. But our Italian restaurants here are pampering us with all kinds of sauces. We are now all very saucy people, like the Italians

Almost everytime there is an occasion, there also is spaghetti. Somehow it has become the easiest to prepare dish in the menu. HOwever, I have never seemed to grow tired of spaghetti. I like it sweet-style so we add condensed milk...just a little amount to give it a slightly sweet taste.

That is Jollibee style, too. Good taste. Add ham and tomato paste. But my spaghetti has a simpler recipe.

Growing up as a little girl my mom would make Thursdays pasta day. In fact at the age of 10, sauce was the first thing I learned to cook by my mom. So every Thursday it was spaghetti with meatballs or not, salad and garlic bread. Now I make it at least once a week but it's just not the same day of the week all the time. I love pasta and italian foods of all kind.

That is a good family tradition, making a day exclusive for something. I will make Saturday my pasta day, or spaghetti day. Thanks lelin, for reminding me about the good old tradition. It is graduation time in my country. I will invite relatives one Saturday so we could enjoy spaghetti and gossip as graduation celebration.
