[Pmist]

Anyone have a recipe for this? Im trying to eat better and rather than having regular spaghetti.  I want to make it with ground turkey rather than meat.

Can ya help a wildcat out?

"If you are trying to eat better, I‘d suggest you stay away from baked spaghetti. The killer here is all that cheese on top. Regular spaghetti would be better as long as you try not to load it up with cheese.

Anyhow like any spaghetti, the key i"

"Cap is right...its that cheese, baby boy, that DELICIOIUS CHEESE that really makes the dish soooo....FATTENING!!! Those hard cheeses that don‘t really melt like parmesean, romano, etc. usually have LESS fat, which is why they are so hard, if you wanna cut"

"I‘m going to tell you Cats what makes good pasta, but it requires a bit of work. This is why Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill and others have such good pasta dishes.

I‘m funny in that I like good food and will go through the trouble and expense to get it. One of the main reasons I seldom eat out is because I‘m spoiled rotten as hell. I feel no one can do it as well as I. When I‘m invited to banquets, I cringe.  I have seldom had good banquet food. Now some of the nicer places have good banquet food if their main chef prepare it. Otherwise it is all garbage.

The key to the most excellent pasta is to make your own fresh pasta. It is not difficult if you already own a Kitcthen Aid mixer. All you have to do is buy the pasta kit and pasta rollers. If you make it one time, you will never go back to the box stuff."

Thanks for the link babyboy   :yes:

"I will Jaimac! Thanks.  

Cap and Jay T,

I was trying to see how I can make it more healthy. Like I could substitute lean turkey versus meat. Instead of full cheese maybe I can substitute 2% or fat free cheese instead. You know flip it kind of rather than eliminate it totally.

Today Baked Spaghetti, tomorrow MAC AND CHEESE!  "

"VG, you can do it fast if you have the equipment. It  will be slow going at first until you get the hang of it, then it is kind of fun. You can make extra and freeze it to use later, or leave it out to air dry. Fresh pasta cooks in about a minute.

Of course I‘m assuming everyone owns a kitchenAid Mixer. If one calls themself a cook, the Kitchen Aid is the first item you buy. The next would be the KitchenAid food processor. Once you make the investment, it will last you a life time. I‘ve seen them at estate sales where they can be 50 years old and still work. BTW, Hobart makes Kitchen Aid. Hobart makes gadgets for commercial kitchens, the KitchenAid is the Hobart brand under the consumer name."

"Pmist, you know I love you like a son and want you to enjoy your meal to the fullest. Don‘t make cuts, just watch your serving size. If you make a alot, don‘t try and eat the whole pot,  eat one or two meals and stop. Cut up the rest and freeze it. Get yourself a vacuum sealer son. They are a godsend and will keep your frozen food fresh forever. From time to take, take out a serving and nuke it for dinner.   :yes:"

[babyboy]

YEA! use a 6 in. plate one time each meal

[Pmist]

"Cap,

Good advice.  :yes:  I will try to follow it but vacum sealers have been my nemisis. They are confusing and then the bags are too expensive and hard to find.  

Babyboy,

That might work. The trick is to find those plates. Its almost like they dont make them anymore.  "
