alone for dinner


my all time favorite food is spaghetti.  anyway i can get it, i will eat it, as long as it has a tomato based sauce.  i always have various types of pasta and canned tomatoes in the cabinet so that i can make this.  i probably eat it once a week and i always make it if i am on my own for dinner (unless i go to burger king and get a whopper junior with cheese).
so tonight i was on my own and i had 3/4 of a box of spaghetti and a 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes.  i cooked the spaghetti in lots of salty water and drained it.  in the same pot i added half a diced onion that i already had in the refrigerator and 2 cloves of diced garlic to some olive oil and sauteed.  i dumped in about 3/4 of the can of tomatoes and crushed them.  salt, pepper, a little sugar and some basil...simmer...simmer...simmer.   add the pasta back to the pot.  toss.  eat.

yum.

p.s.  no, i did not eat it all.
