"This is really a basic recipe for pasta in a sauce without draining your pasta and using more then one pot. I really enjoy the way the pasta has flavor all the way through not just poured on. Since I'm the mama of the house I do most of the cleaning so I avoid extra dishes at all cost! This can be vegetarian if you omit the meat. Really you can sub most of the ingredients except for the pasta , sauce, and water. I would say its similar to a hamburger helper meal in flavor. Well enjoy"

directions

It's very important to follow these directions exsactly, just kidding . This is pretty easy and is difficult to mess up.
Put meat, onion,garlic salt, sugar,pepper,basil and oregano in a pot and cook until well browned. Then add wine if you have it ,if not just add 1/2 c water.
Add olives and garlic , then the jar of spaghetti sauce.
Use the now empty spaghetti jar and fill with water . Add 3 jars of water to the pot. Bring to a boil and add pasta.
It will take a little longer than the regular pasta cook time . Stir occasionally .Simmer until pasta is done.
Add provolone and mix inches.
hen its done top it with shredded Romano and serve.
