i eat a lot of spaghetti in the week and was wondering what would all be good with it.
prefer something that is not hard to make or creates a lot of mess, as i dont like to clean @ school and often dont like wasting too much time cooking either.

currently using Parmesan or butter.

cream cheese & butter mixed together can be good if warmed.

real easy thing to do is after u cook pasta toss with chopped garlic and a nice amount of olive oil
(u could also throw in stuff from your pantry)

also easy is canned tomato products .. add a little brown sugar and basil and seasoning and u got a nice tomato sauce

how about simple alfredo:
1 part heavy cream 1 part parmesan cheese
optional chopped herbs

or chicken/beef veloute sauces:
one of those 16 oz boxes of broths
reduce broths with 1/2 cup chopped shallots/onions
a lil salt, pepper and a bay leaf
reduce until thick
remove bay leaf
add optional chopped herbs

butter sauce (beurre blanc)
16 oz wine mayb
reduce wines with 1/2 cup chopped shallots/onions
a lil salt, pepper and a bay leaf
remove bay leaf
add some chopped butter (add a little at a time tho)
maybe one of those 4oz sticks is enough.
adjust seasoning and add spiciness and/or chopped herbs if u want

That's not veloute sauce.... veloute is with roux (butter/flour) and cream, added to your reduced broth...
Also if you reduce store bought broth it will be salty as shit, so you could make your own broth and only put salt at the end when its reduced down...

thickened =/= reduced down.... and veloute by default needs cream in it too.
