My sweet friend Lisa gave me a recipe for home made spaghetti sauce years ago. I made it once or twice over the years and went back to the "easy" Ragu jars. Honestly, I don't know why? It is so easy to make this sauce. I got out the recipe and made fresh sauce this week. The family loved it and I will never go back to Ragu. It is so yummy and so easy!
Thanks Lisa... Miss you so much!!!!
Easy Sauce Recipe
