McDowell’s Infamous Spaghetti is a Carolina Eats recipe sweepstakes finalist
When it comes to spaghetti, Ysante McDowell’s is infamous.
Made with vodka spaghetti sauce and enhanced with Ed’s All Purpose Lemon Pepper & Garlic Seasoning, this wickedly delicious pasta dish is a favorite at the McDowell house.
“My Dad’s seasonings – we use his rubs in this – and my Mom’s special sauce make this one of our favorite dishes,” said the McDowell’s daughter, Danielle.
Added Ingles Chef Jasmin Queen, “The sauce is a little bit different and not a typical one that you would use in spaghetti, so I’m actually really excited to try this.”
A finalist in the Carolina Eats Pasta Creations Recipe Sweepstakes presented by Ingles, McDowell prepared her Infamous Spaghetti alongside Queen and Your Carolina’s Jamarcus Gaston.
As one of four sweepstakes finalists, McDowell of Chesnee, SC received a $250 Ingles gift card and is entered into the drawing to win the grand prize, an LG Range from Bob Burnett’s Appliance & Bedding Center in Spartanburg.
