Spaghetti Carbonara

Made just like here only use spaghetti noodles

Fried Ramen

This is my comfort food...when I am sick, don't want to eat or depressed this is what I make. It's my chicken noodle soup.

There is no "real" recipe, it changes all the time depending on what I have in the house to use. For one person you need:

1 package of ramen

1/2 of included seasoning packet

1/2 C-1 C frozen veggies, defrosted

butter as needed,

Cook noodles in boiliong water for about 3 minutes. Drain well. In a skillet melt a couple Tbsps of butter. Add noodles and stir fry until they start to crisp. Throw in veggies and add 1/2 of seasoning packet that was included with the ramen. Heat and serve.
