One of the things that I enjoy the most as a mother is to see my children happy! I love spending time with them and cherishing every moment as they grow! One of my favorite things is to cook together as a family, so this year we will Make Mother’s Day Special with Barilla® in our kitchen!
Make Mother’s Day Special with Barilla®
Being able to show my daughters how I love cooking for our family just like my mother did when I was growing up is such a joy! Not only do I get to spend quality time with my girls, but it also brings back memories of times in the kitchen with my own mother. I will admit that at one point no one in my family thought I would ever learn how to cook and for a latino family that is a big deal! Now it’s my favorite way to spend time with my girls.
One of my girls favorite meals is pasta, so I wanted to make a special pasta recipe for them shared by Barilla® which I thought my husband and they would love!
To purchase all of my ingredients I headed to my local WalMart. There I found the Barilla® Spaghetti, plus all of the other produce and ingredients needed to make Barilla® Spaghetti with San Marzano Tomato & Meat Sauce. I absolutely love that this recipe only took me about 20 minutes to make. Now that’s my kind of cooking!
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 box Barilla® Spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small carrot, chopped
- 1 stem celery, chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup White wine (optional)
- 1 28-ounce can San Marzano Tomatoes
- 1 cup water
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Regginao, shaved
Step One: Place a pot of water to boil.
Step Two: While water is boiling, in a large skillet, sauté the onion, carrot and celery with the extra virgin olive oil.
Step Three: Add the meat and cook until completely browned and no red is visible.
Step Four: Incorporate the tomatoes and 1 cup of water, season with salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer.
Step Five: Cook pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions.
Step Six: Drain pasta, toss with sauce, and top with cheese!
Being able to see my family enjoy something we made together is such a joy! Plus, with such an easy and fast recipe I can guarantee this Mother’s Day is going to be extra special!
