These easy homemade Parmesan Spaghetti O's are a delicious twist on a childhood favorite. Whip them up in no time and let the nostalgia (and flavors) take you back to simpler times. They are the only spaghetti you will enjoy with a spoon! Say cheese!
Add the pasta (spaghettiOs) and pour the chicken stock together with the water right away. Add your Parmesan cheese rind. NOTE: This is optional, if you do not have one, simply add a pinch of salt.
8 oz pasta, 16 oz Chicken Stock, 10 oz Bottled Water, Parmesan cheese rind
Bring it back to a simmer, then cover partially and cook on medium-low heat for al-dente: 15 minutes or 20 minutes like me if you enjoy your pasta softer. IMPORTANT: Be sure to stir the pasta a few times in between cooking as this pasta get stuck easily to the bottom of the pot.
NOTE: If you feel like most of the water has evaporated, the dish is super thick, but the pasta is not cooked yet, add a splash more water at a time until the pasta is cooked.
Once the Spaghetti O is ready, remove from heat and remove the cheese rind. Then, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve as a side to your favorite meal or enjoy as a main course. Bon appétit!
