My Favorite Spaghetti

I created this scrumptious 'sketty tonight after craving it all day. If you made the Hummus Crostini a few weeks ago, then you may have a jar of bruschetta and a jar of fried peppers and onions still lurking in your fridge. If not, then Mancini Fried Peppers and Onions, and Classico Extra Garlic Bruschetta is what I used. I hope you love it!

3/4 to 1 lb 93/7 ground beef
1 box of whole wheat thin spaghetti
2 cans (15 oz) plain tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz) petite diced tomatoes (because I don't like big slimy tomatoes in my sauce)
1/3 cup diced fried onions and peppers
2/3 cup bruschetta
1/2 cup reduced-fat Mozzarella cheese

Brown ground beef in skillet until no longer pink. Season with garlic powder, salt, pepper while cooking. Set aside.

In a sauce pan, combine both cans of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, peppers and onions, and bruschetta. Salt to taste. Add ground beef. Heat to very hot on medium heat, just until there are bubbles. Reduce heat and simmer.

While sauce simmers, boil spaghetti according to package directions. Drain.

Serve sauce over spaghetti, and sprinkle each serving with 1 Tbs cheese.
