This is a nice take, or retake, on a standard meal – spaghetti. We used the exact measurements for the chili powder & cumin and while the taste is noticeable, it’s subtle. If you prefer more punch I suggest adding an extra teaspoon of each, possibly even doubling the measurements specified. Regardless this recipe is a nice change up on an old standard!
