Featured Recipe: Italian Sausage Spaghetti
Last week's Desperation Dinners column:
What do you do with leftovers? Do you ever intentionally plan for them? I do, and I freeze them. Especially when I’m testing recipes, I often end up with a batch or two of the same soup or sauce, and there’s no way I can consume it by myself. (Nor do I really want to.) So my freezer is beginning to look like my grandmother’s did -- she had an entire upright freezer filled with assorted soups, sauces, pies, quiches and cakes ready to be shared with friends. Whether it was food to give a sick friend, welcome a new baby or take to a funeral lunch, my grandmother had it covered.
Today’s recipe for Italian Sausage Spaghetti is perfect to enjoy with your family -- or you can freeze it for sharing later on. You also can double or triple the sauce and invite a bunch of friends over to savor. It’s even easy to cut the recipe in half for just two or three.
Whether you share this meal through your freezer or across the table, it’s sure to satisfy.

I can never afford to waste food. Not ever. So I admire your grandma so much. At least, aside from not wasting your food and money, you're not wasting your time too because whenever there's an occasion, your food is all ready to be served. Yummy sauce by the way.

My husband grew up in Michigan and his mother was originally from the hills of Kentucky. I first had Chocolate Gravy one winter when she was visiting. Growing up in the South, too, I was surprised that I had never had it nor even heard about it. Anyway it was rich and delicious and she served it over hot, flaky biscuits.
My husband told me that when he and his cousin were running cross country in high school, before each Saturday race, his mother would make them biscuits and chocolate gravy. Now thanks to Cheap. Fast. Good! I am preparing your version of biscuits and chocolate gravy. Except now instead of heading to a cross country race we will be headed to our son's swim meet. Thanks for helping me carry on a family tradition.
