Old School Spaghetti Recipe
And I weigh my words! Each family has their own recipe for spaghetti sauce, which they keep in the strictest confidence. I took it from my mother, and she took it herself from her sister-in-law who definitely took it somewhere else… Since we change it up a bit with each generation, it gets better with time! And I can say this is the best sauce I’ve tasted, period. Don’t omit any ingredient, it’s this combination that makes it taste so good.
But be warned! This sauce is unique! It has a good spicy taste and a bit of sweetness. You have to know how to appreciate these two characteristics to love him…
