Other options:
* Any 1 lb meat combination is great, even mix with italian sausage.
** If your picky eater doesn't like tomato chunks, use your hand blender and puree your tomatoes until smooth. Then add to the pan (step 3).
*** Hold your spaghetti over the pan (high enough to not burn yourself) and break the spaghetti in half and then in quarters, approx. 2 in. pieces. You can also use 8 oz. of any other pasta (elbow macaroni, penne, rigatoni).
