Easy Spaghetti Sauce
"I was buying Ragu my entire life and it was never quite enough or too much. It was also expensive compared to a can of tomato sauce. So I thought I'd try to make my own. I found out that it was super easy to do."

This recipe is a good start. I felt it needed more flavor. I modified it by putting in garlic, ketchup, onion powder, sugar, salt, pepper and a little water to thin out the sauce a bit. Not bad after those additions. -
This lives up to it's name-easy! And very good. I love a thick spaghetti sauce and this is thick. I made it to freeze in single serve containers to take in the motorhome for easy lunches. Made for Spring 2014 PAC.
