Easy Spaghetti Dinner

This pasta dish from the "Better Homes and Gardens" Magazine, November 1940, turned out to be a flavourful one pan meal. They call it a Spaghetti Dinner, but it uses what we would call today elbow pasta

I did amend the recipe slightly. As with a lot of 1940s recipes, it used a lot of salt and, for me, more than two teaspoons of salt seemed too much. 1 teaspoon was plenty and I added some garlic powder for good measure. If you make it, adjust the seasonings to your own taste

Plus, it says it serves 6? Not in this house Im afraid
