This was a good recipe but I did have to make a few tweeks. I had to add like a tsp more of salt and I used about a tbsp of garlic powder in addition to the garlic called for in the recipe. I also used beef broth instead of water. The recipe makes a lot but is pretty liquidy so you could use an ounce or two more pasta and be good. I served this with cheese on top and my kids loved it.

A nice twist on the usual sauce. After reading other reviews, I cut back on the chili powder to 1 teaspoon, just a hint gave it a nice pep. Instead of the jam, I used applesauce because I had it on hand. Worked perfectly to temper the acid in the dish. We liked it with the two minor changes. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-04-07","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OlivePizza"},"reviewBody":"Definitely does not taste like spaghetti, and is lacking in taste except for the chili powder...family was not impressed by this recipe, leftovers went into the trash...will not be making again.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-04-06","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Naomie"},"reviewBody":"
Per the title, this is just a different spin on a one pot spaghetti dish. I omitted the grape jelly, the ingredient to provide a little sweetness instead of sugar. My peeps are sweet or savory, not both. Added a quick shake of cumin too. <\/p>
<\/p>
The group loved it and served with a simple green salad with a balsamic vinaigrette and some garlic toast. Pineapple sherbet for dessert. <\/p>

Put your own touch on it to make it appealing for your family and friends. <\/p>

It is easy and quick for a day one is too tired to think. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-07-07","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanBandAid"},"reviewBody":"Made this exactly as written, and it turned out great!
