And what kind of casserole do you start with, Tuna Noodle? (Don't
you just hate ambiguity in a recipe?)

I'd take a leap of faith and think a word was left out, so they meant
casserole dish. Other that, I bet dollars to donuts he made it up.
The recipe is disgusting - something like that would never be printed
Saveur - or anywhere else for that matter.

That the recipe specifies Chef Boyardee brand makes me wonder if the
recipe was in an ad in Saveur. Was it? Hey! Don't YOU always put
water chestnuts in your spaghetti sauce? "That's different."

http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipe...arty-Spaghetti

As a connoisseur of Steve, I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't do
this (make up a recipe and attribute it in detail).

Strangely enough, although the recipes are basically identical, it's not
a cut and paste. Steve's version has no ingredient list, and specifies
quantities in the directions. The cited version has an ingredient list,
and mentions ingredients in the directions only by name, not quantity.
Other than that, they are almost identical, although the cited version
has an extra comma, which I imagine would throw Sheldon into convulsions.

A "casserole" is the name of the pot (as well as the name of a dish
cooked in the vessel). The phrases, "casserole pot" and "casserole
dish" are redundant.

Barbara demonstrates her Royal Stupidity not once, but three times
in one post.

And right after she gets done saying a word was left out (it wasn't)
she writes, "other that".

Did you say you were a school teacher?

How do you feel now?

Just fort that, I'm waiving your next year's membership fee.

I typed it in word for word before I knew it was online. I even
hyphenated "stirring" just as it appears in the article. But I did
miss the comma before, "and pour off the fat."

And yes, the printed version does not contain an ingredient list.

The recipe is a sidebar to an article about a woman with two aunts
who live near each other. One cooks extravagantly from scratch, the
other... this.

I can't for the life of me tell what water chestnuts would do in
spaghetti sauce, especially canned ones; you might as well use turnips.
Fresh water chestnuts have a pleasant sweet taste, stir fried slightly,
but peeling a sufficient number is a bit of a pain.

Turnips might work. :-) Perhaps you don't understand. This is not
canned spaghetti sauce, this is canned spaghetti. Canned mush. No
texture.

Nobody, but nobody, is going to peel *anything* to add to canned
spaghetti mush.

Well, turnips might get mushy, then. That's why you use water chestnuts!

Just a large empty casserole, clearly enough. Are you asking what a
casserole is? It's a pan that holds something baked in the oven,
then served on the table directly from the pan.

You could have looked that up for yourself, you know.

Are you kidding? There's nothing you can do to make canned spaghetti
worth eating. Tho' I must admit that eating it as a snack on toast,
British or New Zealand style, is just possible if you are very hungry.

Incidentally, you'd have to be in real hurry to actually eat canned
spaghetti or Spaghetti-Os. Making a marinara sauce and boiling some real
pasta does not take long. Even I would not follow Nigella and not cook
the sauce at all as in her ur-marinara.
