Looks delicious 😋! I also break the pasta in half to make more spaghetti 😂 The only 2 ingredients I don't add. But will start adding is tomato paste and bell pepper 😃
Looks yummy !!! My mother made her sauce this same way .. Haven't had this in many years , so thank you , Pam for this wonderful memory .. I think that you are a wonderful cook and teacher . 😊
Been a cook and food writer for over 20 years but going through some rough times. Pam, just wanna let you know that watching your videos has been a wonderful way of making me feel better and reminding me what cooking is all about outside the politics, the money, the likes, etc. Your love for cooking and teaching really shows through. And that's rare these days. New to your channel, but I hope to follow along for many, many years. I know if I've had a rough day, I can just come over to your place and learn something new.
My mom never made meatballs; always meat sauce like you. The other thing she did was she would combine hamburger and sausage instead of just all hamburger. She also did that with her meatloaf mixture. Added some extra flavor and spice! Yummy!
Your grandma and my grandma must’ve been friends! Mmhmm - that’s “sketti” that I grew up with. Love you Miss Pam, your voice just brings my blood pressure down immediately. 🥰💛🥰😋
Pam, I have a tip for you and your viewers. It is much easier to get the tomato paste out of the can if you open both ends. Then just remove the top and push on the bottom to push the paste right out. You can't use the can to measure the water, but it's so much easier.
My mom made spaghetti just like this, always with bell peppers and onions and she used tomatoe paste . I miss my mom spaghetti, you just brought back precious memories ,RIP MaMa.
I took my Nana's recipe and perfected it. I don't use canned sauce, I use lots of fresh garlic, fresh basil, fresh oregano, black olives, sliced mushrooms, fresh tomatoes peeled or a large can of stewed tomatoes- pureed, a little brown sugar and I use hamburger and ground sausage. After you add your pasta and bring it back to a boil, turn it off and cover with a lid for ten minutes, perfectly al dente everytime. Can't stand my pasta mixed in with my spaghetti, so I put the pasta on the plate, then the sauce on top and garnished with shredded cheese, raw onions (I love onions 🤣) a dollop of sour cream and Red pepper flakes. YUMMY 😋, I'm going to have to make spaghetti for dinner tonight now! 🤣
Oh pam. I don’t know how to thank you. This brought back soooo many wonderful memories. This is exactly how my sweet momma use to fix spaghetti c. As you were cooking it up. I could actually smell it. Mmmmmm ..what sweet memories. Thank you again Pam. You’re amazing…A-blast from the past🤗♥️❤️🖤🧡💜💙🤎💚
I'm 82 and remember my mom making spaghetti exactly the same way and we were a family of 9. I never liked green peppers or onions per se, but I cook with them.
I reserve the pasta water and I never rinse my pasta after cooking, unless Im making a cold pasta salad. Package cooking directions can result in mushy pasta--so it's best to start checking for al dente texture at 6 minutes for angel hair /thin pasta, and 8 minutes for spaghetti and others. Bow tie pasta can take even longer. Your dish looks amazing!
Thank you. I rinse my pasta only when it will be a while before I can incorporate it because rinsing in cold water stops the cooking process so they’ll stay Al dente
@@CookingAtPamsPlace When I worked in the kitchen in high school ('82) for my extra credit..the cooks would throw a whole lot of butter into the noodles right after they were cooked to keep them from being sticky...and, lets be honest, it made them taste delicious. Cooking for that many people in those giant pots took pounds of butter and it smelled good as it melted into those noodles.
My Mom made the best Sicilian sauce that nobody in the family can duplicate. So I developed my own with traditional Sicilian ingredients. I have several levels of sauce that go from simple no meat "salsa putanesca" to standard beef and tomato with peppers, onion, garlic and spices, to my favorite 4 meat 8 veggie super spiced sauce that costs me almost $20 per quarter to make. It's great to know a lot of recipes.
This is EXACTLY how my mom used to make her spaghetti, except she used tomato sauce in place of the jar sauce. You brought back memories with this one!
I always fix my spaghetti similar to this. I usually use extra lean ground beef (96/4 or 97/3) so no draining necessary. I also typically use tomato sauce and season it appropriately to make my own sauce. I also don't use as much salt due to dietary reasons. But this looks great. And mixing it in advance with the pasta reminds me of my mom's spaghetti that I used to eat with sliced bread. Reminds me of my childhood in the 70s (yes, I'm old lol). 🍝
My mother cooked the spaghetti the same way with Ragu sauce, she never mixed the cooked spaghetti into the meat sauce. The meat sauce would be served on the plate on top of the spaghetti. When I got older , I just mixed the spaghetti into the sauce and started using Bertolli onion, garlic and basil pasta sauce. I also added Italian sausage out the casing to the ground Turkey (instead of ground beef, healthier option) . I also include red peppers with green peppers & sweet vidalia onions . Also include diced tomatoes (unsalted) and use pink salt in boiling pasta water too, since I have high blood pressure & my husband. Ground Back in the day , I enjoyed mom’s version. But today I revised the recipe for more flavor and my family enjoys it. Sometimes when I have time on a weekend I will make homemade sauce with large can Crushed tomatoes, small can unsalted tomato sauce , red cooking wine, onion & garlic powder, basil, diced unsalted tomatoes , oregano, Italian seasoning, a little pink salt, pepper, raw sugar (tablespoon) , tomato paste , red / green peppers, vidalia onions , minced garlic , drained browned ground turkey/ Italian sausage added in slow cooker for few hours. It turns out delicious & after slow cooked I add the cooked spaghetti in crockpot and stir together. Comes out delicious, especially next day leftovers! 😊❤️
Thank you Pam for this memory loaded spaghetti dinner. My mom broke the spaghetti too and the dinner was delicious!!! We siblings would sit at the table 'slurping and laughing' enjoying that meal. And an added plus, if there was any spaghetti and meat sauce left over, it was super delicious the next day!!! Girrrrl stop, you're taking me back!!! I am there!!! 💯 PJ
Watching you take that first bite made me smile. I get the same look on my face when I make and eat the recipes Mom and Grandma used to make. Brings back so many memories! XXOO ❤
Thank you Pam for teaching us your mothers old fashioned spaghetti. One tip my mom taught me that I still use - when draining fat, use an empty can to avoid clogging your pipes or worse contributing to fat burgs in the sewer system. Helps not clogging your arteries too. I keep the can under my sink until it’s full to throw in the garbage
Hi Pam, this is a good start to old school chili, complete with pasta and a can of tomato soup with a can of water…mom used celery instead of green pepper…and added chili power 😊 Thank you for that!
You are adorable! I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of months now and I’ve tried a few recipes that are absolutely delicious! Thank for bringing sunshine to my day!
Hi Pam. Nice to learn from all your wonderful videos. I especially love your tips. Your method of wrapping lettuce has saved me a lot of money. It’s also wonderful to save seeds from your grocery store vegetables. I watched a video of saving green pepper seeds vs. any colored (ripe) pepper seeds. He demonstrated by planting them in soil that only the colored pepper seeds came up because they are ripe. A green bell pepper won’t germinate because it’s still green. It’s not mature enough. It’s normal ripe color is red and these will germinate but not the green because they are not mature enough to grow. At least that’s what he said and demonstrated on his RUclips video. So I quit saving the green ones and only save red, yellow, orange or Aloha ones.
My mom made it a lot like that. She put in garlic and oregano and onion powder. One can of diced or crushed stewed tomato and the tomato paste. A teaspoon sugar, salt pepper, a bit of oil in the drained spaghetti to keep it from sticking together, and a bit of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce. It was so good.
Thank you, Pam!! I can't wait to try this recipe!!! My best friend's mom used to make this when I came over their house. Definitely great childhood memories!!
hey Ms. Pam, you can also brush olive oil around the top rim of the pot before inputting your water and it will not boil over. I also use the spoon sometimes. Both work great.
I wasn't hungry when I came here, now after I watched some of your videos I'm starving! You sure know how to bring the desire to cook in people. Keep on doing what you do, you just got a new fan!
Back in the day we didn't have Ragu and Prego. We had to make gravy with canned tomato paste and canned tomato sauce and it was always meatballs. Your way is so much easier.
That's how my mother made it and sometimes she cooked Italian sausage with the meatballs. She started it early in the morning. One of us kids had the job of grating the parmesan. They also called it gravy and we didn't call it pasta, it was always macaroni.
Hi Chef Pam, your spaghetti is pretty much the same as the way my mom taught me. You're right. A person should drain their meat and pasta. The meat juice has grease. The pasta has all that salt, and that is not good for people with high blood pressure. My mom has to stop putting salt in the water. No matter what, she did her blood pressure was still high. Eliminating the salt at this step helped a lot. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a great day.😊
Pam you and I are kin. We had spaghetti and fish every Fri. Our recipe is almost the same, except we add fresh garlic and chilli powder to the sauce. The other thing is we use 98% fat meat, So you never have to strain it. IT has very little to no grease. Awesome Job Sis💕
Your video brings back childhood memories. My beloved Mother used to cook spaghetti with ground beef, too. Only difference is, my Mom used to season the beef before she cooked it in the pot. Old school, but of course, my Mother's spaghetti and ground beef was the best! She used break the spaghetti in half, too! I miss her so much! ❤️😘👵🍝😞
Man, did we grow up in the same family!!This is exactly the way I learned to make spaghetti! There is one difference though. I always sautéed the veggies first. However thanks to your video, I won't be doing that anymore...one less step! Thank you.
That’s my grandma’s spaghetti! From the broken noodles to the green pepper and the can of paste “to thicken that watery jar sauce” only difference she didn’t drain the grease off “we can’t be wasting that” she passed in 1990 and this warms my heart. Leftovers would be fried in the skillet with butter - was the best! Thank you for the memories
I am a women but not really much of a cook. I mainly only know how to cook really basic stuff. I'm talking things like ramen or french toast types of basics. I followed along with this video and made this the way you did. Mmmmmm good stuff! ❤ Thank you! Love your videos and the knowledge you have and no doubt will make more things from your videos.
Wow I should’ve watched this earlier lol today we had spaghetti for our Sunday dinner 🤦🏻♀️ yours looked so yummy 😋 ❤. Thank you for your beautiful faith posts. May God bless Ms Pam ❤😊
@@CookingAtPamsPlace I know that's right. My little hardware store has some pieces on display. When get some extra money, I'm gonna start buying a piece hear and a piece there.
@@CookingAtPamsPlace I sure wish I could give you some of mine Pam... Mine is over 80 years old as it was my grandmother's and my mother's and now mine and it still looks perfect!!
My mother-in-law taught me how to make spaghetti and chili from scratch. I did make changes to spaghetti adding carrots, zuccini and mushrooms. Both were cooked in crock pot for 4-6 hrs on low. Delicious 😊
My Mom and everyone else’s Mom must have been neighbors-she broke the pasta as well, it helped stretched it out, enjoy your video’s, I love the tip on the spoon on or across the top of the pot!! Blessing all who visit you!!
My mother never made a meat sauce, she cook the ground beef and spaghetti noodles, then she mix them up and poured the spaghetti sauce in mixed everything up then put it in the oven to bake. We've always ate cheese on our spaghetti too. My grandmother cooked her spaghetti like Miss Pam, I'm sure her mom and my grandmother are of the same generation.
Thank you so much!!!! 🎉 You solved the riddle I have been puzzling over! Putting salt in after the boil! I couldn't believe the damage on the inside bottom of my stainless steel pot when I would simmer water with essential oils and I added salt to diffuse as well. Thank you sister!!❤🕊️👑🎯
Hi There Pam! I just wanted to say you're so Awesome and Sweet and I love that you make your videos to help teach others to cook and your tips are Amazing! Too many young people don't know how to cook and were not taught by their mom's, I'm seeing a lot of that these days.
My mama always taught me that one of the main reasons to add salt to pasta water was to add it at the very beginning, because it would help it boil faster! And then oil to keep it from sticking together. She taught me (grandma's recipe) to saute the vegetables first. It's funny how family recipes differ so much. And yet this looks just like what we had. We always rinsed out the cans if water was added, to get every last bit. I'm a vegetarian now, so I just make it with either a bunch of different chopped up veggies, or if I want it like I grew up with, I use veggie burger crumbles. Super nostalgic comfort food. We always had ours on Saturday nights, with breadsticks from Stroehman bakery outlet in town. Once in a while for a treat, we'd hav either chunks of sweet or hot italian sausage in place of the ground beef (or alongside it). Then we'd watch TV together. Thanks for this, and for bringing the memories! Edit to add: I have British friends, and I've since found out that they have the same thing, but they call it "Spaghetti Bolognase", or "Spag Bol". It's a common food for some for "tea" at 4pm. Just a sauce with a lot of ground meat, just like this.
Hey Pam! Yes, that does look delicious!! I use the 80/20 hamburger as well. I think it gives the best flavor. And I make my spaghetti the same way. Only difference is I use fresh garlic when I’m browning up my hamburger meat. We love that flavor! Okay, I enjoyed the video. See ya in the next one. Bye! ❤️💜💚
So glad I found your channel.thank you for sharing your recipes. I tried making my pasta the way you shown us on your short video. I now boiled my pasta for 3 minutes and letting it stand for 10 minutes. Perfect pasta like you said.
My mom added sundried tomatoes and cooked down for 3-4 hours best spaghetti in my world cause it's my mama's! It adds an additional deeper flavor. Love your sunny sweet voice! God bless and Happy Easter ☝️✝️
Yes Grapes, I agree , I worked at a Grocery store here in Jamaica, and was cutting cheese for the first time, I cut one end and the cheese worked me, it was after that, I was told to cut both ends, it came out easy. 👍🙏❤️🇯🇲
For some reason, I find it interesting watching a lefty cooking. There's something fascinating watching them chop and prep because it's done on the opposite side that a right-handed person. I often wonder if cutting utensils and other cooking stuff are hard to find for left-handed cooks.😊 This looks delicious.
Mmm. That looks just like my mama used to make it. It looks absolutely amazing. The only thing a little bit different is that we would sauté the onion and bell pepper first and yes we always use the green bell pepper. We made sure the pasta was al dente we drained the fat just like you did from the meat, my mama added that can of tomato paste and the jar sauce and we added a little bit of Parmesan and basil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder, very delicious
Wow Pam your grandmother made it similarly to my recipe I used to use beef but due to my dad that couldn’t have been using ground 3%fat ground turkey and instead of Ragu I just use two tins of Italian diced tomatoes but everything else I use. Xxx
This is the exact way I make my spaghetti. Love it with extra meat. It's easy an simple, plus I also break my spaghetti in half. It's easier on the kiddos. So their not choking on a long piece of spaghetti, lol !! Yummy delicious recipe , old school !!😃
I just LOVE your cooking Mrs. Pam 🍽♥️ I have learned SO MUCH! Thank you for the tip about adding the spaghetti 🍝 water instead of plain water. Happy Resurrection Sunday ✝️🙌🏽
Yes yes yes! This is definitely ole school and I LOVE it! This is exactly how my dad taught me how to make homemade spaghetti and meat sauce. I still make mine like this today. So good!!!
I too because this recipe the same when I was growing up as a child and I also remember in the school that I went to the cafeteria ladies cooked this recipe I had completely forgot about this spaghetti. Thank you for bringing it back. And congratulations on both your channels!
OMG that looks so delicious! You brought a tear of joy to my eyes bc that’s just how my Mother & Father use to make their spaghetti when we were children.🥰. They also added peeled canned tomatoes or garden fresh ones their spaghetti!
LOL - I had a good laugh when you said that this spaghetti was served with fish we had macaroni and cheese. Looks like there were a lot of mamas and papas (and grammas and grandpas) thinking ...we have to stretch this meal. Funny, when ever I have fish, I really want some macaroni and cheese. Great recipe! I am going to try it this week.
Following Grandmas recipe, you can’t go wrong. And the cast iron skillet is the only thing you need to cook anything. Grandma always said, if it smells good, let it be and the only sound you hear is…..oh my goodness, this is delicious then, it gets quiet 😁😁😁 Auntie Pam, I can hear my Mom and Grandma saying “pay attention” when I watch your videos
Thank you for sharing tips. Spaghetti looks scrumptiously good! Simple way to make Spaghetti...the old school way! I will try it. It's a way to simplify life.
I never salt my water and my spaghetti 🍝 is Amazing! Just salt & season your sauce. I add just a bit of canola oil to the boiling water - so that the noodles don't stick together. You are awesome ❤
looks delicious, my mother made hers the same way, and sometimes she would do the meatballs but she would break up some peices of the heal of bread and put it in the meat with the green peppers and onions, then once it's all done, we would sprinkle some Kraft grated parmesan cheese on top, with fried chicken, Now that's some good eating
Looks delicious! Will it still taste like 🍝 without you adding oregano, basil, bay leaf or Italian seasoning? Because the seasoning in Ragu isn't enough.
Old school,! Yes ma'am, Ms. Pam Baby Boomer Sis here. Mommy, grandma, aunties and uncles made that spaghetti ...just like that! Spaghetti and wings, fish or w h a t e v a. Yes ma'am. GREAT Thanks for your shares.
I've used the same ingredients for many years, albeit, I use a variety of spices including Red Peppers. I fry onion and green pepper separate from meat. Only difference I don't add much water. I like my sauce thick. I save bout third of Ragu sauce in jar to use when I heat up spaghetti plate next couple days.
Hi Pam! Im going to make this sauce this week. Your recipe is Exactly the way my dad likes his spaghetti sauce...the way my mom use to make it...loaded with meat! Love your videos 🩷🕊
My mother made it with onion chopped an bell pepper chopped up too an her own homemade sauce I made it the same . I can't have tomatoes anymore so now I make a Alfredo n bell pepper sauce that is so yummy .
We made it the same way. But only used pasta sauce. No tomato paste. But that sounds even better and thicker sauce :) Its making me hungry for it! Love your energy
We make our like this, will have to try using the water from boiling the spaghetti, that’s a old trick, never heard of it. Thank you for sharing your Great Grand Mothers recipe. ❤
I like your style. The first time we had it we had spaghetti and meatballs. The next time we saw it was on Friday with fish as dry spaghetti the way you made it. My mom would break up the meatballs and mix everything together like you did. So that one meal became two. Meat sauce over spaghetti and dry spaghetti with bacon on top. Yum!
If you like Spaghetti be sure to watch this video next! ruclips.net/video/M2K4RxXrsy8/видео.html
Looks delicious 😋! I also break the pasta in half to make more spaghetti 😂 The only 2 ingredients I don't add. But will start adding is tomato paste and bell pepper 😃

My mom never made meatballs either! I’m now 55 and cannot eat sketti with meatballs…but there best be some meat in my sauce 🤣
I’m 55 and STILL break my sketti noodles in half before throwing them in the pot!
I split in meatloaf as well makes for a more moist meatloaf!
Yes I make my meatloaf the same way as your mom did and when I could eat spaghetti. It gives it a banging flavor 👍😋😋😋😋

Pam you and I are kin. We had spaghetti and fish every Fri. Our recipe is almost the same, except we add fresh garlic and chilli powder to the sauce. The other thing is we use 98% fat meat, So you never have to strain it. IT has very little to no grease. Awesome Job Sis💕
Your video brings back childhood memories. My beloved Mother used to cook spaghetti with ground beef, too. Only difference is, my Mom used to season the beef before she cooked it in the pot. Old school, but of course, my Mother's spaghetti and ground beef was the best! She used break the spaghetti in half, too! I miss her so much!
❤️😘👵🍝😞
Man, did we grow up in the same family!!This is exactly the way I learned to make spaghetti! There is one difference though. I always sautéed the veggies first. However thanks to your video, I won't be doing that anymore...one less step! Thank you.
Love watching your uplifting videos! The unboxing of the walmart things was so much fun, you were so excited and I was so glad for you.
That’s my grandma’s spaghetti! From the broken noodles to the green pepper and the can of paste “to thicken that watery jar sauce” only difference she didn’t drain the grease off “we can’t be wasting that” she passed in 1990 and this warms my heart. Leftovers would be fried in the skillet with butter - was the best!
Thank you for the memories
I am a women but not really much of a cook. I mainly only know how to cook really basic stuff. I'm talking things like ramen or french toast types of basics. I followed along with this video and made this the way you did. Mmmmmm good stuff! ❤ Thank you! Love your videos and the knowledge you have and no doubt will make more things from your videos.
Wow I should’ve watched this earlier lol today we had spaghetti for our Sunday dinner 🤦🏻♀️ yours looked so yummy 😋 ❤. Thank you for your beautiful faith posts. May God bless Ms Pam ❤😊
Cast iron is increasingly becoming my favorite type of cookware.
Yes it is mine! I wish I had a whole set! Maybe one day lol
@@CookingAtPamsPlace
I know that's right. My little hardware store has some pieces on display. When get some extra money, I'm gonna start buying a piece hear and a piece there.
One thing about iron is that it lasts forever. I've gone thru so many pans, yet still use my Nana's ironware which is over 50 years old. 😊
@@CookingAtPamsPlace I sure wish I could give you some of mine Pam...
Mine is over 80 years old as it was my grandmother's and my mother's and now mine and it still looks perfect!!
Oh wow! I’m on my way to get my plate Pam! 😄 That looks so good! I will bring the fish!
Looks amazing Ms Pam. I usually add about a half cup of white wine 🍷 ... Delicious! 🖤🙂
My mother-in-law taught me how to make spaghetti and chili from scratch.
I did make changes to spaghetti adding carrots, zuccini and mushrooms.
Both were cooked in crock pot for 4-6 hrs on low. Delicious 😊
My Mom and everyone else’s Mom must have been neighbors-she broke the pasta as well, it helped stretched it out, enjoy your video’s, I love the tip on the spoon on or across the top of the pot!! Blessing all who visit you!!
My mother never made a meat sauce, she cook the ground beef and spaghetti noodles, then she mix them up and poured the spaghetti sauce in mixed everything up then put it in the oven to bake. We've always ate cheese on our spaghetti too. My grandmother cooked her spaghetti like Miss Pam, I'm sure her mom and my grandmother are of the same generation.
Thank you so much!!!! 🎉 You solved the riddle I have been puzzling over! Putting salt in after the boil! I couldn't believe the damage on the inside bottom of my stainless steel pot when I would simmer water with essential oils and I added salt to diffuse as well. Thank you sister!!❤🕊️👑🎯
Yes after the boil and before the pasta!!
Hi There Pam! I just wanted to say you're so Awesome and Sweet and I love that you make your videos to help teach others to cook and your tips are Amazing! Too many young people don't know how to cook and were not taught by their mom's, I'm seeing a lot of that these days.
PAM...YOU COME ACROSS SO SWEET,
WARM, TRUST WORTHING, LIKE A FRIEND THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE!!!
❤
My mama always taught me that one of the main reasons to add salt to pasta water was to add it at the very beginning, because it would help it boil faster! And then oil to keep it from sticking together. She taught me (grandma's recipe) to saute the vegetables first. It's funny how family recipes differ so much. And yet this looks just like what we had. We always rinsed out the cans if water was added, to get every last bit. I'm a vegetarian now, so I just make it with either a bunch of different chopped up veggies, or if I want it like I grew up with, I use veggie burger crumbles. Super nostalgic comfort food.
We always had ours on Saturday nights, with breadsticks from Stroehman bakery outlet in town. Once in a while for a treat, we'd hav either chunks of sweet or hot italian sausage in place of the ground beef (or alongside it). Then we'd watch TV together. Thanks for this, and for bringing the memories!
Edit to add: I have British friends, and I've since found out that they have the same thing, but they call it "Spaghetti Bolognase", or "Spag Bol". It's a common food for some for "tea" at 4pm. Just a sauce with a lot of ground meat, just like this.
Hey Pam! Yes, that does look delicious!! I use the 80/20 hamburger as well. I think it gives the best flavor. And I make my spaghetti the same way. Only difference is I use fresh garlic when I’m browning up my hamburger meat. We love that flavor! Okay, I enjoyed the video. See ya in the next one. Bye!
❤️💜💚
I really enjoyed this, you make it exactly the same way that I do
Yes I haven't had spaghetti in a long time...thanks for sharing
You’re welcome ❤️
So glad I found your channel.thank you for sharing your recipes. I tried making my pasta the way you shown us on your short video. I now boiled my pasta for 3 minutes and letting it stand for 10 minutes. Perfect pasta like you said.
My mom added sundried tomatoes and cooked down for 3-4 hours best spaghetti in my world cause it's my mama's! It adds an additional deeper flavor. Love your sunny sweet voice! God bless and Happy Easter ☝️✝️
Yes Grapes, I agree , I worked at a Grocery store here in Jamaica, and was cutting cheese for the first time, I cut one end and the cheese worked me, it was after that, I was told to cut both ends, it came out easy. 👍🙏❤️🇯🇲
You are a great role model for women! Soft spoken,modest,pretty and funny.Godspeed.🙏
For some reason, I find it interesting watching a lefty cooking. There's something fascinating watching them chop and prep because it's done on the opposite side that a right-handed person. I often wonder if cutting utensils and other cooking stuff are hard to find for left-handed cooks.😊 This looks delicious.
It sure do look delicious Pam I love it. God Bless.
Mmm. That looks just like my mama used to make it. It looks absolutely amazing. The only thing a little bit different is that we would sauté the onion and bell pepper first and yes we always use the green bell pepper. We made sure the pasta was al dente we drained the fat just like you did from the meat, my mama added that can of tomato paste and the jar sauce and we added a little bit of Parmesan and basil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder, very delicious
Ms. Pam, this takes me back "a couple few decades" LOL! Thank you!💜
Wow Pam your grandmother made it similarly to my recipe I used to use beef but due to my dad that couldn’t have been using ground 3%fat ground turkey and instead of Ragu I just use two tins of Italian diced tomatoes but everything else I use. Xxx
This is the exact way I make my spaghetti. Love it with extra meat. It's easy an simple, plus I also break my spaghetti in half. It's easier on the kiddos. So their not choking on a long piece of spaghetti, lol !! Yummy delicious recipe , old school !!😃
I just LOVE your cooking Mrs. Pam 🍽♥️ I have learned SO MUCH! Thank you for the tip about adding the spaghetti 🍝 water instead of plain water. Happy Resurrection Sunday ✝️🙌🏽
Yes yes yes! This is definitely ole school and I LOVE it! This is exactly how my dad taught me how to make homemade spaghetti and meat sauce. I still make mine like this today. So good!!!
Awesome
I too because this recipe the same when I was growing up as a child and I also remember in the school that I went to the cafeteria ladies cooked this recipe I had completely forgot about this spaghetti. Thank you for bringing it back. And congratulations on both your channels!
What a Beautiful Smile!
OMG that looks so delicious! You brought a tear of joy to my eyes bc that’s just how my Mother & Father use to make their spaghetti when we were children.🥰. They also added peeled canned tomatoes or garden fresh ones their spaghetti!
LOL - I had a good laugh when you said that this spaghetti was served with fish we had macaroni and cheese. Looks like there were a lot of mamas and papas (and grammas and grandpas) thinking ...we have to stretch this meal.
Funny, when ever I have fish, I really want some macaroni and cheese.
Great recipe! I am going to try it this week.
Lol so true
Following Grandmas recipe, you can’t go wrong. And the cast iron skillet is the only thing you need to cook anything.
Grandma always said, if it smells good, let it be and the only sound you hear is…..oh my goodness, this is delicious then, it gets quiet 😁😁😁 Auntie Pam, I can hear my Mom and Grandma saying “pay attention” when I watch your videos
Just found your channel and am I a HAPPY CAMPER! Love all the little tips you give. God bless and I hope you have a good week.
Delicious Spaghetti! Thanks Pam.❤
Thank you for sharing tips. Spaghetti looks scrumptiously good! Simple way to make Spaghetti...the old school way! I will try it. It's a way to simplify life.
I never salt my water and my spaghetti 🍝 is Amazing! Just salt & season your sauce. I add just a bit of canola oil to the boiling water - so that the noodles don't stick together. You are awesome ❤
I never put oil in my noodles. I put my noodles in cool water and then bring to a boil. They never sit
That looks so simple and delicious! I can’t Wait to Try It!! Thanks Pam!!❤😊
Looks so good. We love pasta. My husband would eat it everyday. Thanks Pam
Miss Pam
You make that just like my Momma and Gram makes it. Gram turned 102 this year and is still making it the same way.❤
Oh awesome!!! 102!!! I need to go with her so she can tell me what to do! Lol
looks delicious, my mother made hers the same way, and sometimes she would do the meatballs but she would break up some peices of the heal of bread and put it in the meat with the green peppers and onions, then once it's all done, we would sprinkle some Kraft grated parmesan cheese on top, with fried chicken, Now that's some good eating
Oh and back in the days she always used the ragu sauce
We made it the EXACT same way tooo, good memories and got me hungry Ms Pam❤❤❤❤
Awesome
Looks delicious! Will it still taste like 🍝 without you adding oregano, basil, bay leaf or Italian seasoning? Because the seasoning in Ragu isn't enough.
Old school,! Yes ma'am, Ms. Pam
Baby Boomer Sis here.
Mommy, grandma, aunties and uncles made that spaghetti ...just like that!
Spaghetti and wings, fish or w h a t e v a.
Yes ma'am.
GREAT Thanks for your shares.
Thanks for sharing the recipe and I love your channel.
I've used the same ingredients for many years, albeit, I use a variety of spices including Red Peppers. I fry onion and green pepper separate from meat. Only difference I don't add much water. I like my sauce thick. I save bout third of Ragu sauce in jar to use when I heat up spaghetti plate next couple days.
Thank you Pam for sharing the old school method I was raised on this recipe.❤🙏🤩
Thank you sweet Ms Pam!
Hi Pam! Im going to make this sauce this week. Your recipe is Exactly the way my dad likes his spaghetti sauce...the way my mom use to make it...loaded with meat!
Love your videos 🩷🕊
I LOVE your videos, friendly smile, and bubbly-upbeat personality 🤗❤️
My mother made it with onion chopped an bell pepper chopped up too an her own homemade sauce I made it the same . I can't have tomatoes anymore so now I make a Alfredo n bell pepper sauce that is so yummy .
Thank you for sharing your mom's recipe I will definitely make this!!❤
Hi Chef Pam!! This recipe definitely brings back memories and looks delicious!! Great job!! Blessings to you and your family from Illinois!!😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏
We made it the same way. But only used pasta sauce. No tomato paste. But that sounds even better and thicker sauce :) Its making me hungry for it! Love your energy
We make our like this, will have to try using the water from boiling the spaghetti, that’s a old trick, never heard of it. Thank you for sharing your Great Grand Mothers recipe. ❤
I like your style. The first time we had it we had spaghetti and meatballs. The next time we saw it was on Friday with fish as dry spaghetti the way you made it. My mom would break up the meatballs and mix everything together like you did. So that one meal became two. Meat sauce over spaghetti and dry spaghetti with bacon on top. Yum!
I like the breaking up of the pasta. Mom did it the same way, old school, the way I grew up. Thanks for sharing.
🍽️🧋 YUMMY!!! Yesss I REMEMBER THIS WAY😀 THANKS FOR SHARING!!! I LOVED THIS!
