My Grandma Would Say, “Be Careful Not To Swallow Your Tongue” Because This Is SO DELICIOUS!

If you have always thought spaghetti is not a very fancy dish – think again! This recipe is going to completely change the way you feel about it. All these incredible flavors; the shrimp, lemon and the mouthwatering seasonings, make this meal fit for a king. I wouldn’t mind serving this to even the finest dinner guests – and I know they certainly wouldn’t mind eating it!

There are plenty of ways to tweak this recipe to your taste. I always add some chili and garlic to the shrimp – it reminds me of a dish I used to have on my vacation in Hawaii, and those flavors take this recipe to a whole new level.

But if you’d prefer a milder dish, this is still going to blow your mind even if you’re not adding chili. Use any kind of pasta noodles for this – I prefer the way this looks with spaghetti so that’s what I usually go for.

The Best Gosh Darn Pasta Sauce You’ll EVER Make

Friends, I must say this is a recipe that I really, really appreciate. My days get so busy from time to time, I would love it if I had an easy meal just waiting for me in the freezer every day. Now, I could buy a dozen boxes of frozen pizza slices but that would probably just make me feel guilty… I’d much rather spend some time making a huge batch of this incredible pasta sauce and then freeze individual portions of it for later! Yum!

This recipe makes a whopping 18 servings, so it really is perfect for making ahead. On the other hand, if there’s a family gathering coming up and you’d like to serve delicious comfort food at its best, just make this and serve with your favorite pasta noodles and some fresh, crusty bread. I guarantee everyone will love it and you won’t have a drop of leftovers!

Quick Tip: Feel free to halve the ingredients if you think 18 servings is too much even for freezing.

Everyone in my family absolutely adores spaghetti. They love to enjoy it with tomato sauce, white sauce and even pink sauce. We even enjoy it with just a sprinkle of olive oil and salt! Any way we can enjoy spaghetti, we do, and it is so much fun. My husband, on the other hand, hates spaghetti. He hates that it is often a mess to eat and that it always untwists on his fork before he can even get it into his mouth. It is definitely a love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with spaghetti in his book.

Well, since my family loves it and my husband hates it, I have been trying to find a solution for this conundrum. How hard it is to feed people who are polar opposites, huh? Well, after a while of browsing on Pinterest, I was still stumped. I had absolutely no idea what to do to make my family something they love, but also not something my husband hates. So, I called my neighbor Anne who quickly came to the rescue. After hearing my dilemma, she had a solution of a family recipe from long ago in her family: spaghetti baked cream cheese casserole.

Quick Tip: Sprinkle with any of your favorite cheese over the top.

I have noticed that in our family parties or reunions, kids usually stay away from the huge, rich dishes such as pork chops, roast beef, and grilled fish. They always gravitate towards that one pasta dish that the adults mostly ignore. Spaghetti has established its presence in our family reunion table ever since we were kids; and it seems like it’s going to stay there for the next generations. Spaghetti is a favorite among the kids in the family. My nieces and nephews love it most especially if there are huge meatballs on top of the serving pan. They will always fight for a piece of those! Whenever they come over to my house for sleepover, I make sure that I put those extra large meatballs in there.

Lately, I’ve noticed that while they still love spaghetti, their appetite is not as big as before. Some of them still manage to finish their plates full of the spaghetti, but there’s no fight over meatballs anymore, and the pan isn’t as empty as it was before. I guess it’s true that it doesn’t matter how much you love something; sometimes there is a need for a change or a reinvention. I found this recipe that actually helped bring back those appetites. I just tried it in last month’s reunion and it was a huge hit! I just added a few things to give it a little twist – and voila!

Who can resist a homemade pasta carbonara straight from Mom’s kitchen? Definitely not me! I grew up in a household where everyone enjoyed a heartily made pasta dish every weekend. I remember how my brother and I used to fight over the last serving of Mom’s pasta carbonara… with me winning, of course. Every Friday, we used to sit down in the living room, watch a rerun of a TV series and talk about which type of pasta should go with lunch the next day. I know. TV series and pasta are two different topics, but hey, food and TV always complement each other!

Pasta was a serious business and we really took it seriously—from discussing the type of sauce to what type of pasta should be used. Dad preferred pasta with a red sauce, but my brother and I had always preferred the white sauce. He also preferred the traditional spaghetti noodles while my brother and I preferred fettucine. It was always two against one so we always won! I will never forget how Mom’s Carbonara seemed to just melt in my mouth. She was always generous with the sauce and the bacon—the ultimate deciding factors on how good a carbonara would be! I have been looking all over until I finally found this simple recipe that was close to that homemade creamy goodness.
