Quick Italian Spaghetti has been a standby for Ruth Peterson of Jenison, Michigan for some 40 years now. "I can make it in a jiffy, and there's no other spaghetti recipe my husband's even interested in trying!" Ruth says.

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 3 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
  • Cooked spaghetti
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
