"This is my grandmother's recipe from Italy. It is wonderful. I have gotten rid of all other sauce recipes because this one is so good. It is also wonderful over rice and by itself. I love it because it tastes too good and is very filling so it lasts more than 2 meals."

I like angel hair with this sauce--it gives it a unique texture.
I use Georgio bottled mushrooms, Del Monte Tomatoes, Hunts Paste, Lea& Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, McCormick Chili powder.
All the rest are fresh ingredients.
This is an old family recipe.
Once you taste it, you will never go back to any other sauce.

Very good pasta sauce! I cooked it on low all day in my crock pot after browning the ground beef in a skillet. Great comfort food, that I served with Italian whole wheat bread. In addition I added sliced white button mushrooms.

Hi. I am a 21 year old mom who loves to cook. I was brought up in an Italian family who's day centered around "What's for dinner?". I have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter and my husband drives the big rigs. I have always loved to cook. Spaghetti Sauce is one of my best. It is my g-ma's recipe but my g-pa says I have it down exactly like hers. I have a gigantic cookbook library and tons of magazines and cut out recipes. I am also a Weight Watcher member and love to cook healthy. Take a look at my recipes. I know you will like them.
