Spaghetti Squash Beef Ragu
If my son had to pick a favorite dinner, it would be spaghetti, everytime. He gets so excited when he walks through the door and sees some hamburger meat browning in the skillet, because he knows it’s most likely going to be the start of his favorite meal.
My husband also loves it because if he’s got to make dinner, it’s super easy. And for our spaghetti sauce, we like to use a store bought pasta sauce like these delicious new choices from Bertolli. They just make spaghetti night all that much easier.
To celebrate Bertolli’s 150th anniversary, Bernoulli sent me some of their Bertolli® Riserva Italian Sauces. These are incredible. We’ve made this spaghetti sauce that I served over spaghetti squash and also some veal parmesan with another one of the sauces. They all taste amazing and don’t need to be “doctored-up” like other sauces do.
To bring a little more Tuscany to our table, we like to serve dinner with a nice Chianti and a crusty baguette served with garlic infused olive oil. We serve the little ones grape juice and end the dinner with cool creamy gelato.
Bertolli wants to know how you bring Tuscany to your table.
