spacer40 Best Recipe Contest for December's recipe contest is: What are you going to do with that Ham you just bought?


Ham is pork from a leg cut that has been preserved by wet or dry curing, with or without smoking. As a processed meat, the term ham includes both whole cuts of meat and ones that have been mechanically formed. Most hams you'll find made in the United States are city hams. They are wet-cured and made by soaking the meat in a saltwater solution or injecting them with a brine. You may also see country ham, which is dry rubbed and hung to dry like prosciutto. There are also fresh hams, which are uncured.

    • Last day to submit recipe: February 25th, 2026
    • Poll up: February 26th thru March 1st, 2026

(#5740822) Spaghetti w/pre-made sauce and some tweeks
Posted by jroyster on 23 Jan 2026 at 11:09PM
Sorry PattyMac, the "Homemade" threw me. Here's how I make Spaghetti.

Start a pot of water for the spaghetti, over medium heat, so it will get to a boil quicker.
Mix 1/2 lb of mild Italian sausage with 1/2 of hot Italian sausage. (Save the rest to use in my Zuppa Toscana soup recipe) Winking 3
Dice a small onion (color of your choice), I like red.

Cook the sausage over medium heat, flipping half way through the cook.
Chop the sausage into small bites, and then add the onion and cook until they're translucent.

Add two jars of 24 oz Classico Marinara (your favorite flavor), or one 40 oz jar of Rao's Homemade Marinara Pasta Sauce.
Shake in about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Add one 7 oz can of whole button mushrooms. I do this so it's easy for my wife to pick them out. If your family likes mushrooms, use whatever kind you like.
Reduce heat to simmer.

Adjust the heat on the water to bring it to a good boil.
Add the spaghetti (I break mine in half), and cook for 11 minutes for al dente.

When the spaghetti is cooked, drain but do not rinse.
For some reason my wife won't let me mix the noodles and sauce on the first night. But we do mix the leftovers, and that's when spaghetti is really good.
