SPAGHETTI ON A SCHEDULE

(I like lotsa sauce, so I use less pasta...use your disgression here)

1/2 bag shell pasta
2 cans Hunts (important) Traditional spaghetti sauce
1 sm. can Contadina tomato paste
1 lb. ground beef, chopped as it browns, & drained of grease
1 can mushroom slices (I actually prefer these to fresh in this type
                       of spaghetti)
1 t. minced garlic
2 T. sugar (more or less to taste)
1/2 t. minced onion

Brown ground beef in large pot, drain.  Add sauces, mushrooms, & seasonings.
Simmer on low, stirring often, about 45 minutes.  Meanwhile, make pasta

complete with an Italian salad and garlic bread or french fries to sop
up the sauce.
