Pemberton Cookbook

Survival Spaghetti

This dish was born during the Ice Storm of Christmas 1999 when the electricity was off for five days and we cooked on the top of the kerosene heater.

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

• 1/2 8-oz package of spaghetti, broken
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 1 lb. hamburger (optional)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 2 cups water
• Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

Brown the hamburger and onion and green pepper in a deep skillet.

Add tomato sauce, water, and spaghetti.

Cook until spaghetti is done. If spaghetti is too thin, cook a little longer to cook off water. If too thick, add a bit of water.

Serve topped with cheese.
