Baked Spaghetti and Spiking Cancer

As you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Our school in the past has dedicated a night called Dig Pink, where all the volleyball players wear pink in their uniforms and honor those affected by Breast Cancer.

This year we decided to dedicate the night to children who one way or another have been affected by cancer either through themselves or a family member...we called it "Spike Cancer" night.

The gym, school and players all were beautifully in spirit with the children that attended and they had a terrific time.  It was definitely a heartfelt and emotional evening.

To bring a little comfort...this pasta dish will make you feel warm and cozy for any kind of emotions. Goes quick together and makes for great leftovers (if there are any).  Enjoy!
