Tinned Spagetti Ideas?

Herbgirl

Hi- I have just been given 8 cans of tinned spagetti (the heinz tomato sauce stuff) but to be honest I dont really like it or know what to do with it. What else can you do with it apart from have it on toast?

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks

You could wash it and use the spaghetti in a chicken noodle soup or something like that.

Harvest Festival? Food bank? Know anyone with kids? I can't think of anything to do with it either tbh, I don't like tinned pasta much.

Use it to thicken sausage or chicken casserole?

I'd bread/egg some thin pork, fry it, and serve it over the warm spaghetti.

Put it into a dish add some cooked sausages or meatballs top with grated cheese and breadcrumbs and put under the grill until bubbling.

The sauce is a bit sweet (like many Heinz products) but if you mix it in with a can of chopped tomatoes you can end up with quite a nice sauce



I like tinned spaghetti, I sprinkle grated cheese on top on toast and put under grill, or put Marmite on the toast first. Adding chopped parsley changes it quite a lot too

But I agree with valk_scot; if you really don't like it I am sure it would be well received at a Harvest Festival, as it is a winter store cupboard staple for some of the older pensioners I know

Make the spaghetti on toast as normal, grate LOADS of strong cheese over the top, add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, microwave for one minute. MUCH better than just on toast by itself.

I'm sure you could smush it up with a hand blender or liquidiser to bulk out a tomato-based sauce like bolognese or pizza sauce. If you have enough other ingredients (especially herbs and spices) it will just become a background note and help with thickening the sauce.

Repeat the cycle and give it to someone you dont like.
