Did I change anything? I left out the capers.
What did the family think? Hubby and I were the only ones who had this for dinner tonight. Hubby didn’t like it at all. He ended up having pb and j for dinner. I think it would have helped if I had warned him ahead of time that it was cold. It looks like a warm bowl of spaghetti with regular spaghetti sauce, but it isn’t. His taste buds never got over the shock. The kids ate leftover pizza. I liked this dish, by the way.
