Speedy Fake Spaghettios

Note: Next humor story June 1st! May story posted below.

I make this more healthy and cheap version of Spaghettios for my kids, but I like it too for lunch. It's nice because it only takes 2 minutes in the microwave.

1 serving

1/4 c couscous
1/4 c spaghetti sauce (or more if you like it more saucey) (click here for recipe. I like to keep some on hand in the fridge)
1 mozarella cheese stick

Put the couscous and 1/2 c water in the microwave. Microwave for 2 minutes. Let sit one minute. Pour on spaghetti sauce and cut the cheese into chunks and mix all together and serve. (note: the cold sauce will cool down the couscous so it is just the right temp)
