Sure, it really is as simple as it sounds. So far I've done it with spaghetti with meat sauce and also pesto penne with sausage.

All you do is make up a huge pot of whatever you want. I do spaghetti. And then get out a large skillet to make your sauce. I do mine with ground venison, garlic, peppers, onions, mushrooms, assortment of spices, a fairly basic tomato sauce and then sometimes add in an extra can of diced tomatoes.

After it's all done I'll usually stick it in the fridge for a few days and eat it. And then when I'm tired of eating spaghetti for the week I'll load the rest up in sandwich sized freezer bags. Pop em in the freezer, all set. Then whenever you want an easy dinner or you want spaghetti, grab a package out of the freezer, rip it open and throw it on a plate, you may want to add just a touch of water to make it a little more moist and then you throw it in the microwave for a minute or two. Take it out, break it up a little more, throw it back in for another minute or two.

It sure beats the prepackaged ones. And you have total control over what goes into it.
