This is my favorite way to eat spaghetti - I wish Lance liked it as well as I do! Please forgive the lack of true measurements, I have never really had a recipe for this, I just remember it from what a college roommate used to make, except she put green peppers in hers also.

Spaghetti Salad

cooked spaghetti, cooled

green onions, chopped (tops also)

sliced black olives

diced tomatoes

8 oz. fat-free italian dressing (or larger if you're making lots)

1 to 2 tbsp. olive oil

"Nature's Seasonings" to taste

Mix all ingredients together and chill or serve at room temperature. Whatever you do, be sure the spaghetti is cool before you add the chopped tomatoes, or they will wilt and taste bad. This usually goes over well at potluck suppers, and as a bonus it is low in fat!

Stir in condensed milk and chopped cilentro and let it reheat.

Spread suiza and cheese on warm tortilla and roll into burritos or enchaladas.

NOTE: This recipe is a good place to hide additional vegetables like grated zuccini or chopped greens.
