For me, "mom's spaghetti" means tomato and basil Prego with some frozen meatballs thrown in and some spices and maybe a tomato thrown in. Still good and still homey, but I don't make it for myself.

Anyway, pasta is a comfort food. I don't think you should be ashamed. It's like our exchange before when we were talking about liking nacho cheez. It's all about context. Heck, I've seen more than one chef friend eat a Kraft singles grilled cheese on Wonderbread with Campbell's tomato soup and enjoy the shit out of it just as much as they would the gourmet versions, but for different reasons.
