One Pot Spaghetti with Meat Sauce is also one of those recipes that is impossible to mess up. There are only a handful of ingredients in One Pot Spaghetti with meat sauce, and it comes together with little to no effort. My oldest son, Austin, is a super super picky eater, and he never would even eat pasta! For a while I joked that he must not be our kid, because me and my husband looove pasta. I mean, who doesn’t?! Well, finally when he was around 4 he watched Lady and the Tramp and he was really excited to try their slurping pasta kiss move. Naturally, I volunteered to reenact it with him. It was literally the only time he decided he liked pasta, and never wanted to eat it again since then. Ugh. However, if you don’t have a psycho picky eater like my kid, I am SURE your kids will love this!
