Answer:

None.

Explanation:

A dependent clause is a group of words or phrases that do not make a complete thought and cannot be used or taken as a complete sentence. To be a complete sentence, it needs an independent clause.

In the given sentence, there are two independent clauses with no dependent clause. the independent clauses are<em> "my father cooked spaghetti for dinner"</em> and <em>"I made the salad and garlic bread"</em>. And with the use of the coordinating conjunction "and", the sentence becomes a compound sentence.

Thus, there are no dependent clauses in the given sentence.
