Baked (or fried) Spaghetti
Spaghetti, cooked and drained (you can drizzle it with oil to prevent sticking)
1 stick butter, margarine (or 1 cup oil)
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup cabbage, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup pimentos
1 cup mushrooms fresh or canned (if using fresh, chop them and fry with the celery, cabbage, and bell pepper)
1 bottle stuffed green olives with juice
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large can tomato puree
Salt
Pepper
Grated cheddar cheese, optional
Melt butter in large pot on high heat. Fry bell pepper, cabbage, and celery with a little salt. Stir semi-frequently until veggies are soft. Add pimentos, mushrooms, and olives and fry a couple minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients (including spaghetti) except the cheese.
For baked spaghetti: put ingredients into a casserole dish and put cheese on top. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
For fried spaghetti: turn heat to medium, mix well, and cook on the stove top for about 15-20 minutes. Add the cheese and mix through for about 5 minutes.
