Hi J,
Thanks for commenting. My husband just asked if we can have the kids over for spaghetti the day AFTER Thanksgiving. I thought that was so funny! This is what I'll probably make, only a larger quantity. Can you tell I'm NOT cooking TG dinner? If I was, I'd have to spend the day after in bed, recovering.

Marianne, I wouldn't add a THING to this - it is great as is!

Sounds delicious. You saying you were making it after Thanksgiving reminded me of a friend who used to eat Thanksgiving dinner with us sometimes. When he was growing up they always ate Turkey and all the trimmings at his grandparents on Friday after Thanksgiving so his Mom made spaghetti and meatballs for Thanksgiving day.
