RICHARD AND SUZANNE'S FAMOUS SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Richard and Suzanne's Famous Spaghetti Sauce image

We created this spaghetti sauce because my wife did not like thick sauce. Therefore, we came up with this recipe and have used it for over 20 years. We are always asked for the recipe, but, until now, had never given the recipe to anyone. Hope you enjoy!!
