So it’s 2024 and I’m working on finalizing my recipe for spaghetti sauce.
This is an easy to make and delicious spaghetti sauce. Meat is optional and it’s good with or without beef.
It makes enough sauce for about 8oz of dried pasta or 16oz of frozen tortellini or 16oz of frozen ravioli. Great for lasagna, baked ziti, or whatever you want to have it with.
