Spicy Spaghetti


2 green peppers
2 cans tomato paste
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. basil leaves
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 pkg. pepperoni slices
1 pkg. meatballs

Cut up green peppers and cook in medium pot until soft. Add tomato paste, cooking until color becomes orange, then add crushed tomatoes and stir slowly. Add salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and garlic. Last, add meatballs and pepperoni to sauce. Let simmer for at least one hour.

I love this spaghetti! It doesn't have too much of a kick, but it has a heck of a lot of flavor. We actually went to Nashville this past weekend to see my parents, and when my Mom asked what we wanted for dinner Saturday night, the first thing I thought of was this spicy spaghetti. And it wasn't just the baby talking, either! It really is easy to throw together, and it makes the house smell incredible. Serve it with a salad and some garlic toast, and you have a truly incredible dinner.
