    This is basically how I make spaghetti. I usually use about 2 onions a large can of petite diced tomatoes and a regular can of tomato sauce. We used to go to granny's every Sunday and she would have this on the table every now and then. It was just plain spaghetti and some kind - Read more ...

    The sauce is wounderful and my son loved it. But one draw back the suace was not enough for one pound of spagetti. I would change to recipe to have double the liquid portion of the recipe.
