aka
Poor Man’s Spaghetti
Mmmm, this is a super simple recipe with so much flavor.
Ingredients needed:
Pasta
Tomato Sauce
Bell Pepper
Onion
Cheese
In a skillet, add olive oil. Sweat chopped onion and bell pepper.
Break up Thin Spaghetti, Angel Hair or vermcelli and add to the skillet.
The noodles will start looking white (like when rice is fried.)
Add 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and water. Add enough water for expansion of noodles plus a little extra. Add a bit of salt (not too much) and garlic.
Sautee till noodles are al dente.
At this point mixture should be a little soupy.
Remove from heat, add a layer of cheddar or Monterey, cover and let sit.
In 10 minutes get ready for your taste buds to dance…
In the picture below, I was craving this so bad. I didn’t have thin spaghetti, so I used regular. I didn’t have bell pepper or onion, so I used onion flakes. I should have scooped it up right out of the pan it would of looked prettier, but I stirred it.
Even without the extras it was yummy…. That is the neat thing about this dish, it is very forgiving. My oldest daughter loved it and she is a picky eater.
Thank you Mom for making this and Albondigas whenever I would crave it..
I stopped by from SITS to say Hi! That looks so yummy:)
That seems so simple but looks so delicious! I think I will try making it this week. Your recipes are awesome, especially for someone like me who is culinarily challenged

That looks really good! I might have to try that recipe. Thank you for sharing.

Oh wow! I remember my grandma used to make me sopa when I was little. I loved it so much. I never got her recipe. I’m going to try yours sounds so easy. My mouth is watering. It looks great! You took some really good pics of it.
If you get a chance stop by and check out my scones recipe, you make the sopa and I’ll bring over the scones, does that sound good? lol
Both my Grandma’s used to make this dish, also. Man, I miss those ladies…
Ohhhhh that looks REALLY good!
I love something simple, yet yummy!!!!
You are taking me back to my childhood with this recipie. I miss Sopa and Albondigas. My step-grandma would always make her Sopa with angel hair pasta.
