Spaghetti Sauce--Made Better!

For lunch today, I made rotini with bottled spaghetti sauce. It was quick and easy but not entirely satisfying, so I thought I'd jazz up the leftovers for dinner.

I sliced one rib of celery as thinly as possible and sauted it in about a tablespoon of olive oil to soften it. Then I added one large carrot, running it through a shredder first. Once that was cooked, I threw in two or three tablespoons of bacon pieces (I cheated and used prepared bacon bits) and another cup of spaghetti sauce. I gave it a stir and added the rest of the rotini from lunch. It was delicious!
Next time, I might try adding minced garlic and some sliced fresh mushrooms!
