Italian Spaghetti With Meat Sauce image

This recipe comes from my family's cookbook, and I think was submitted by my aunt. The slow cooking is what gives the sauce its great flavor, but don't add too much spaghetti to the sauce or you won't be able to taste it. You could also just dish the sauce onto the spaghetti, instead of combing them. This is a great dish to make when you need to feed a lot of people, because it makes a ton of food. Don't forget to take out the bay leaves!
