Brett & Bart's favorite spaghetti by jeanne templeman

This is an old Italian recipe that I've been cooking for 30 years, and my boys and husband all love it. I got this from my good friend and extraordinary cook Jeannie Puente. The trick for the old Italian flavor is that you cook it for 2 days in a crockpot. I don't leave it on at night for safety. Delicious!

CREAMY SHRIMP FETTUCCINE by Phyllis Munro

My husband loves this recipe. I haven't made it in a while. You can prepare it with shrimp or chicken. I prefer chicken, but shrimp is what I had on hand tonight. It is a simple quick meal that is easily prepared. You can adjust the thickness by add more milk. I usually have to add at least another full cup to get the consistancy that…
