Is there any way to dress up Spaghettios?

Asking for a friend...

by Anonymousreply 57July 6, 2022 5:25 PM

Anything can be saved with grated Romano.

by Anonymousreply 1July 6, 2022 12:34 AM

Mix with vomit.

by Anonymousreply 2July 6, 2022 12:37 AM

Add a cut up hot dog.

Spaghettios can't really be dressed up. It's like dipping a cowboy in dark chocolate - you just wind up with chocolate covered shit.

Embrace the low quality nostalgic food for what it is, or just give it a pass.

What’s “Spaghettios”, precious? What’s “Spaghettios”?

*cow pie.

A cowboy dipped in chocolate might be pretty tasty - depending upon the cowboy.

Give it to the dog.

When I was a kid I would make a Spaghettio sandwich with squishy white bread and Parkay.

by Anonymousreply 9July 6, 2022 12:48 AM

Yeah, eat it over buttered bread.

Don't give stuff like that to dogs. It can kill their liver.

by Anonymousreply 10July 6, 2022 12:51 AM

Toasted bread crumbs? Parmesan?

I haven't had spaghettios in so long I don't exactly remember what they taste like, but maybe add some spice?

by Anonymousreply 11July 6, 2022 12:51 AM

R9 I did the same but added ketchup instead of Parkay. Yikes!

by Anonymousreply 12July 6, 2022 12:53 AM

Roll in panko crumbs and deep fry. Ghetto arroncini.

by Anonymousreply 13July 6, 2022 12:53 AM

Bake it, perhaps like a French Onion soup. Cut up a focaccia, place it inside, like croutons. Add some ricotta. Add some mozzarella and parmigiano on top. Bake until brown. Delicious.

Use it to dress up the inside of your trash can and eat something else.

by Anonymousreply 15July 6, 2022 1:02 AM

R14, that's the ruining of good food with bad food, not the barely saving from discard bad food with incorporation of a bit of good.

After that much work and investment, you may as well have made real food and it still won't taste that good.

by Anonymousreply 16July 6, 2022 1:08 AM

Yeah r14, I think if OP had focaccia and multiple cheese available he wouldn’t be trying to improve a can of Spaghettios.

by Anonymousreply 17July 6, 2022 1:17 AM

Mix it with ricotta cheese and a little bit of EVOO, place it in a baking dish, top it with shredded mozzarella and bake at 375°for 10 minutes.

by Anonymousreply 18July 6, 2022 1:37 AM

The thing is a person will be burping the canned taste all day long..... Just buy a chicken breast, some cheese, Romaine lettuce and cesar dressing. Shouldn't be more than 8 bucks at Kroger. Your belly will thank you for it.

Fry some onion before, then a tomato, then add the spaghettios.

by Anonymousreply 21July 6, 2022 1:48 AM

Don't be lazy and get out the fine china and your grandma's silverware. A good table presentation will elevate anything you serve.

[quote]Fry some onion before

Caramelize the onions. Perfect.

by Anonymousreply 23July 6, 2022 1:53 AM

Yep R23. We were poor. Mom always caramelized some onion then added tomato, then whatever the woman could afford. But it was always so delicious.

by Anonymousreply 24July 6, 2022 1:57 AM

A smart military coat and some nice trousers should do the trick, OP.

by Anonymousreply 25July 6, 2022 1:57 AM

EVOO. Mmmmmm, EVOO.

Yes make 20 pounds of your favorite spaghetti recipe and add a can of Spaghettios.

by Anonymousreply 27July 6, 2022 2:32 AM

Buy the one with meatballs, OP. Be sure and savor their texture.

by Anonymousreply 28July 6, 2022 2:34 AM

Trade up to beefaroni.

Yes, indeed - Spaghettios aspic with weiners.

Spoonful of vinegar to balance the sweetness. Add some Italian spice seasoned ground beef/turkey and boulion powder. Diced tomatoes.

Chef Boyardee's best canned pasta is ravioli, regular and mini. Top with Parmesan.

by Anonymousreply 35July 6, 2022 2:58 AM

Pour it over a plain hamburger patty or slice of meatloaf and call it "Salisbury Steak"

by Anonymousreply 36July 6, 2022 7:35 AM

Julienne and fry bologna, add one cup miracle whip, one can corn and garnish with Pringles. Serve hot or cold as a summer entree.

Dress it up like the Flying Spaghetti Monster... That always gets a laugh in our house and the kids love it

Is it so hard to boil some pasta? Use either EVVO or butter as a sauce. Crush some garlic & rub it on the bowl. Chop little bit of onion. Some parma cheese. Voila.

Not really, but you could dress up as Spaghettios.

R28 I hope to never have to eat Spaghettios again but if I do, I'll remember your advice.

A fun, frothy little boa does wonders for any saucy little spaghetti dish.

by Anonymousreply 43July 6, 2022 2:19 PM

Several years ago, I bought some Spaghetti-Os just to see if I still liked them. I didn't. I tried to gussy them up with tomato paste, herbs, cheese, but nothing really helped.

Kraft Spaghetti Dinner tastes pretty good as is, however, if you're looking for something cheap.

You can dress it up by throwing it in the trash!

A mix with some cherry tomatoes 🍅 slices in half and a little oregano. Mix in a can of tuna before heating. Toss in some seasoned bread crumbs.

I picked up a can recently from the dollar store. It's a shelf stable meatless food. It's not good. The sauce is very sweet and the pasta is gluey. Metallic after taste. Everyone needs a shelf stable emergency food and water supply and this is a good option to have on hand if you don't eat meat but it is not good.

Yes. I have many simple pasta dishes and this is one of then though I use grape tomatoes (sweeter) - this makes a perfect pasta dish as well.

Also try cut up tangerines. Nice sweet taste to the dish.
