Happy Easter to all who celebrate! This isn't traditional Easter food, but it is a good addition to anyone's arsenal for the coming weeks.

I'm not going to lie: homemade spaghetti, with sauce from scratch, is not nearly as difficult as a lot of people (including myself once upon a time) make it out to be. We get this idea in our head that "from scratch" means something has to take an ungodly amount of effort, with all this fancy kitchen footwork for hours and hours at a time. So many dishes, you might think. So much chopping, so much work!

In reality, it usually just means you need to be home to watch that something doesn't burn while simmering for a couple hours.

And if you think about it, you're still doing all the same steps as you might if you were to grab a jar of pre-made sauce (at least, I hope): you're still chopping onion and mincing garlic, still browning beef, still simmering everything for at least a little while before cooking your noodles. There's no actual extra effort, save the effort of waiting an extra hour or so for something delicious to be done—but in the case of a classic dish like spaghetti, it's well worth it.

Especially since all these herbs mean you can do a bunch of different things with your magical intentions. For this recipe, we're focusing on sage, garlic, basil, and oregano.

Magic in Meat Sauce Spaghetti

Since there are so many different herbs in this dish, there are a couple different things you can do with it. But a homemade meal can never go wrong when you're blessing it with protection, courage, healing, and love.

These are the dominant themes in the ingredients used—sage, garlic, basil, and oregano—and are connected with the elements fire and air, as well as the planets Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. . They'll give whoever eats this meal a good bit of air in their sails and some fire under their seat to help them recharge and forge on in achieving their day to day goals—a great gift for members of the family you know are putting in a lot of work and feeling a lot of strain from it.
