Of pasta bowls and spaghetti sauce (a recipe included)

I got a set of pasta bowls for Christmas this year. They are lovely and I am excited to be able to use them for the first time tonight.  It's Monday, so that means it's Spaghetti night.  It's been a long time since we've had sauce not out of a jar once we discovered how much we enjoy Bertolli pasta sauce.  But for tonight's inaugral use of the pasta bowls, we're having homemade spaghetti sauce served over Barilla thin spaghetti.
