Eleanor Roosevelt's Carrots And Spaghetti Casserole
"It was the Great Depression and people were hungry and she and her team came up with frugal meals, this was one of them. They cooked pasta back in the day very well done and mushy BEFORE they cooked in the oven. I'm not. I think you could use Alfredo sauce instead of white sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top add some dried parsley to sauce . I'm sure folks bumped this up. You could use frozen or canned carrots . This was just the very basic recipe for broke folks."
