Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce and Tater Tots

This very quick and easy dish was so delicious that I enjoyed eating the spaghetti without any accompaniments. But, I did serve it with Marinara sauce and some Tater Tots, because that is the way my husband likes it.

If you are wanting to cook something very quick, then do try this recipe. You can use store bought Marinara Sauce, or make your own. Here is a link for my recipe for Spaghetti Sauce

The Tater Tots is store bought. It is pieces of shredded potatoes that are cubed. They can just be baked in the oven. If you do not have this product where you live, then substitute any side dish or just skip it. A green salad with some garlic bread makes a great accompaniment. If you are rushed for time, serve sliced oranges or pineapple on the side, instead of a salad.

Here is the recipe
