Sue's Spaghetti Sauce by Creamettes image

This is a delicious sauce that makes lots. It was published in a recipe booklet by Creamettes in the 1980s. I never put mushrooms in anything (can't stand them!) but the original recipe calls for them, so I included them in the list of ingredients.

  • NOTES : Sauce may be frozen in serving size batches until ready to reheat.
  • Creamettes also says if you have cooked too much pasta, it can be refrigerated up to 3 days in a covered container. Reheat in a microwave or drop pasta in boiling water until hot -- about one minute. Stir gently to separate. . .
  • OR FREEZE. Place cooled, oiled pasta in a plastic freeze bag, seal, and freeze for up to 3 weeks. To reheat, remove pasta from bag and add to boiling water; stir gently to separate. Return to boil. Reheat until hot -- about 2 minutes.
