1/2 tsp. basil, dried and crushed
1 tsp. oregano, dried and crushed
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 lb. lean hamburger
1 small can of mushrooms (optional)
1 can (14 oz.) chicken broth
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
1 medium onion
6 oz. spaghetti, broken
grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 3/4 cup water

Before leaving home mix pepper, basil, oregano and garlic powder in a small ziplock bag. Seal. On "Sketti" Nite - Chop onion and cook with hamburger until meat is brown and onions tender. Stir in mushrooms, broth, tomato paste, water and pack of seasonings. Bring to boil and add spaghetti (a little at a time), stirring constantly. Cook gently, stirring often, for about 20 minutes or until spaghetti is cooked. Serve with cheese.

Comments:
For a real different taste, and / or you don't have hamburger, use 6 slices of cut up bacon.
