Add Some Amaze-Balls to Your Awesome Sauce

Take greatness to a higher level

Okay, stick with me here. (Like un-sauced spaghetti noodles.) It’s gonna get interesting.

Spaghetti by itself is pretty bland. It’s a sad, yellow color. It lacks smell, and it tastes blegh.

Unless you’ve oiled your noodles properly, you’ll pick up a big blog of noodles from the pot rather than the right portion. That blob will land on your plate with a sloppy thud. It’ll look unappetizing.

Sure, you can eat it. But, do you really want to?

Add Some Awesome Sauce

What’s your favorite variety? Chunky garden? Olives and garlic? Mushrooms and green peppers? Four cheeses? Perhaps you like your awesome sauce on the plain side. That’s okay, because even plain awesome sauce makes your clump of noodles taste… well… awesome!

The sauce is what gives your spaghetti its irresistible smell. That’s the smell that gets your stomach grumbling from the first whiff.

That sauce adds color to your plate. That chunky, white-yellow blob is now coated with beautiful, flavorful red sauce. It’s rich and bold. It may be chunky, spotted with spices or plain, but it doesn’t matter. It looks amazing. Good enough to eat even.

Awesome sauce also has a functional purpose. When you stick your fork in a plate of plain noodles, you’re likely going to pick up a huge hunk of noodles that hold their shape. When you stick your fork in a plate of awesome-sauced noodles, you can twirl your fork to get the perfect bite.

Getting that bite up to your lips is easy to do. Plus, twirling is fun! Who doesn’t love to twirl in awesome sauce?

What If Awesome Sauce Could Be Even Better?

There’s no “what if” about it. You can take your spaghetti to the next level with some amaze-balls.

Just about everyone loves awesome sauce — or some of the many saucy variations. The only thing missing is something meaty. Something that gives the plate its fullness and completes the meal. Something that fulfills you.

Yes, I’m talking about amaze-balls. Your plate simply is not complete until it is accessorized perfectly.

Now, amaze-balls tossed in awesome sauce can be messy, but how much fun are they to roll around your plate? If they get too messy, you can always cut them in half or quarters. Guess what you have then? Yep. More amaze-balls!

What the Heck Did I Just Read?

That’s the million-dollar question, and I’ve got the million-dollar answer. Sometimes spaghetti is simply spaghetti. Sometimes, though, spaghetti is your life, your writing, your relationships.

Yea, those things are there, but are they saucy and delicious? Even if they’re saucy and delicious, could they use some amaze-balls to take them to the next level?

Don’t just toss some noodles in a pot of boiling water and heat up a jar of sauce. Don’t be satisfied with that.

Add some amaze-balls to your awesome sauce!
