White Spaghetti

This one got great reviews from my kids. I believe there was a "Thanks for making dinner, mom, this is great!" in there somewhere. The kids ate it up, and Kimball enjoyed it as well. I thought it was good, though maybe could have used a bit more cheese than I put on it. I did make a few modifications: I used only about 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp oil (canola, not olive, because my olive oil isn’t open yet and the canola oil is), and I sprinkled canned Parmesan cheese (didn’t use any Romano) on top but didn’t measure. I’d guess maybe 3 Tbsp. I also sprinkled on some fresh parsley for good measure since I have TONS of that. Oh and it calls for 1 lb of spaghetti but I only used 12 oz. It was enough for the 5 of us (we had this stuff and then half-slices of my latest attempt at sandwich bread) and then the two little ones ate the rest today for lunch. Also, it calls for 1/2 onion to be cooked with the spaghetti. I assumed this meant chop up the onion and put it in the pot with the spaghetti while it’s boiling. I was a little concerned about it coming out the holes in my strainer when I drained the spaghetti, but as far as I could tell we were ok there.
