Notes
**If you let the dish cook longer than the recommended time the noodles will get very soft.
***If you won’t be home to eat the dish right away you can skip adding the noodles until about 30 minutes before you are ready to eat.
**** My one daughter loves her spaghetti extra saucy, so I make sure to have extra sauce on hand to add to hers. So if you love a super saucy spaghetti, grab another sauce to have on hand.
