Spaghetti Letters; a favorite lunch around here and way cheaper than spaghetti-o's

Lunch at our house is very dull, Unless you love spaghetti letters! This is a favorite standby for those days when the bread is not finished baking or the little munchkins just won't eat anything else.  Super simple and reasonably inexpensive compared to a 15oz can of store bought spaghetti-O's. Here is the recipe:

1 package of alphabet noodles (0.43 @ WalMart)
1 can of Spaghetti sauce (0.69 @ commissary -$1.00 @ Wal-Mart)
salt or chicken bullion
Water

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, stir the whole package of alphabet noodles and salt or chicken bullion. cook 7 minutes (or if you have to run out to get a kid off the bus shut it off now and put a lid on the pan)
Drain pasta, stir in the spaghetti sauce voila!!! Enough spaghetti letters for two or three small kids for several days.
I buy the alphabet noodles located in the Hispanic section at Wal-Mart.

This lunch idea costs about a $1.47 for enough to fill three pint size mason jars. That's a whole lot of spaghetti letters!!!!

 

a little package of pasta ...we prefer the alphabet style

a can of pasta sauce...this can is 0.69 at the commissary, but dollar tree and Wal-Mart both carry it

 

One very happy 5 year old!!!!!

 

Two pint jars of the finished product, these will go in the freezer while the other jar will be served.



That is it for this morning as far as a new post. I now must go remove the black beans from the butter I was churning until a rowdy and freaky fast three year threw the beans into the mixer.

 

 

Guilty party but too cute to get mad at!

 

 

 

 

But then again...... and yes she did this...
