Homemade Spaghetti Os
Homemade Spaghetti Os
Homemade meaning the sauce, not the actual pasta. I have made this with ditalini pasta and ring pasta, either one is perfect.
Ingredients
- 2 cans tomato sauce, (15 oz / 425 g each)
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 226 grams dry ditalini pasta, or ring pasta, (8 oz)
Instructions
- To a large pot, add the tomato sauce, water, and milk. Heat to a boil then reduce to low.
- Stir in the garlic and onion powders, then stir in the cheese, stir until the cheese is all melted and takes just a minute or two really.
- Add the pasta and stir that in, reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 20-30 minutes and stir occasionally so the pasta does not stick.
- When the pasta is tender, the Spaghetti Os are ready. Serve as is.
- Or with meatballs added, highly recommended!
- Or as an ingredient when making Spaghetti Os Goulash. (Use 2 cups of this homemade Spaghetti Os per one 15 oz can.)
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
Variants: 1. Add some chicken broth instead of all water, such as 1 cup broth and 2 cups water or 2 cups broth and 1 cup water. 2. Add frozen meatballs, heated. 3. Use as an ingredient to make Spaghetti Os Goulash.

I made this on 4 Feb 2020, exactly as written, and this is good! Very easy to make, you know what is in it, and tasty! This is delicious with or without meatballs. I added 20 meatballs, 1/2 oz each that I heated up from frozen, perfect addition. My family really liked this dish. This will be a regular.
Update 5 Feb, I made goulash with the leftovers, just added a can of mixed vegetables and a small can of lima beans, perfect.
