I made this spaghetti once. I liked it. The menfolk didn't. Proceed with caution.

Ingredients

As with so many things, some like it and some don't. But ironically, this is actually something called Husband's Delight! It's one of those traditional comfort foods, usually made with egg noodles, but any pasta will do.

@beach-mom , both of your recipes sound so good.  I'm going to make the pound cake next week.  The dip I'll try the next time I have some company over.   Thank you!!!
