Best Spaghetti

this is a variation on the spaghetti i made a few weeks ago, but this time i had to make some adjustments because i didn't have a yellow onion. what i did have is half a can leftover san marzano tomatoes from the mexican soup and i knew they couldn't go to waste. so based on the recipe i made before, i boiled half a can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with 2 tbsp unsalted butter. i added diced garlic, onion powder, thyme, oregano, brought to a boil and then simmered for about 20 minutes. added sea salt and pepper to taste, smash the tomatoes a bit. top over whole wheat noodles. um. good.

"this is the best spaghetti i've ever had"

that is a direct quote from ryan. that is a big deal. people have a lot of spaghetti by the time they are 29 years old. i think it is the tomatoes. did you know canned tomatoes could be mouth-watering? i also made asparagus. i love when local asparagus shows up in the store, that's how you know it's almost time for fresh local produce again!
