Simple fast and efficient

I made spaghetti today. Super fast super simple and great way to hide not so desirable vegetables. I dont know about other people but when i make "western" type foods i have to tweak it a bit to make it a bit more flavorful. Forgive me if i am being rude but dude american food is bland.  Easy peasey ingredients and lemon squeezy timing  cuz i had a lot of driving today.
First i get a large pot of water and turn the stove on. Than i stare at it until it comes to a rolling boil. NOT
While the water is on the stove i take out my thawed meat and i brown it with
1 tblsp oil
1 small onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chilli powder (or however much you please)
1 tsp garlic
1tsp ginger
After its browned i add in 1 jar of classico sauce (preferable the red one) it comes in lots of different flavors so pick what you like.  I bring int to a boil give it a quick stir and leave it to simmer
While my sauce is simmering i notice my water has come to a rolling boil. I throw in the pasta (spaghetti or fettucini, angel hair even that noodle one umm penne?)
so than i stare at it for about 8 to 10 mintues until its al dente i quickly strain it and place it back in the pot add in some olive oil to prevent it from sticking I also squeeze in some lemon juice for yumminess.
(I never add the sauce until it is time to serve, However if i would have made the penne one i would add in the sauce than toss it in a oven proof dish cover it with cheese and melt it in the oven.  Its yummy and fancy too.)
My sauce should be done by now, the flavors have been incorporated. While its still simmering i chiffonadde a handful of spinach. Chiffonade you ask? Yes chiffonade basically it means to arrange the leaves in a stack, roll them up cigar-style, and slice the roll as thinly as you can. Toss the spinach in and turn off the stove than stir it well.  I go off to pick up my kids and lo and behold my daughters vegetarian friend comes over, i cant keep her sitting on the couch while my hungry kids devour a bowl full of spaghetti.  Thank God i didnt add in the sauce.  I quickly had to think. I quickly took out a few sundried tomatoes slices from my fridge and chopped them up real fine, a handful of spinach and chiffonaded that : /, some olives,  few leaves of basil and some extra virgin olive oil.  Toss in some yummy cheese and she got a really yummy pasta dish.  Phew if she liked mushrooms i totally would have sauted and tossed those in as well.
OMG its time for Ellen.  She is so funny.
