thank you.purplepassdee.Yes, as I remember my kids loved the home made spaghetti. With the way things are going, families are going to have to get back to more meatless meals.

Thank you for your recipe. I bottle pasta sauces.stu.they are handy even to throw in a stir fry.I want to have ready to serve jars now. The Christchurch dilemma, has made me rethink, on frozen foods.

ahhh this brings back lots of memories .mostly good ones but I also remember one year when good spahetti turned bad for Mum.
The lids all lifted as the spaghetti went bad and fermented .it was like it had a life of its own.oozing everywhere.lol

You should not have sneaked the lids open and stuck ya fingers in.grannypam. I found a jar of peaches with the lid sitting on top. thank goodness it did not ferment. It must have just happened as we moved. The worms, got a sugar rush. lol.

There have always been issues around the safety of bottled spaghetti when the pasta is included.I think nowadays, it's probably better to bottle the sauce by itself.
There's no real time-saving or flavour advantage in including the pasta and my memory of eating Grandma's bottled spaghetti is that the pasta tended to be flabby and not 'al dente'.

Thanks for your recipe.You're so right about it being better than the tinned stuff.
My mum used to make this in huge Agee jars.She counted the jars full on the shelf, in case one of us sneaked a jar.How do you cook the pasta, half done & stuffed first into the jars topped up w/ your sauce!

I never understood bottled spaghetti! Why would anyone buy or make that when cooking a spaghetti is so easy and fast. Am I missing some major culinary Kiwi treat!

No, just convenient sometimes to open a jar and, heat "n" eat. I don't actually bottle it now with the spaghetti, I just bottle the sauce.
