Mom’s Comfort Spaghetti

My ultimate comfort food -mom’s spaghetti! Believe it or not, I didn’t care for spaghetti as a child. But as my taste-buds matured, I began to yearn for that cinnamon-y taste in my mom’s spaghetti recipe. It became my go-to comfort food. I do go a little crazy with the cinnamon in this Mom’s Comfort Spaghetti recipe so feel free to tone it down if you feel the need to. I did tweak my mom’s basic recipe to my liking with the spices and by adding veggies for more flavor/texture.
