SPAGHETTI SAUCE ITALIANO
This is the "real thing" and not a 10 minute sauce. The recipe has been in the family for generations and never fails to please. The longer you cook it, the better it tastes, but don't forget to refrigerate overnight and reheat the next day. Recipe can be doubled by doubling all ingredients.
