This traditional, thick pasta sauce is a cinch to prepare. It has a pleasantly mild flavor and goes with any kind of cooked pasta. If you like, use ground turkey or chicken instead of the beef.-Cathy Johnson, Somerset, Pennsylvania

A mild sweet, super smooth pasta sauce that has become a family favorite! Makes a great sauce for meatballs. I recommend adding them and letting the entire pot simmer and meld. And remember, the bay leaf is lucky!

VIRGINIA'S EASY & MILD SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Virginia's Easy & Mild Spaghetti Sauce image

Sick of Serving Sour Spaghetti Sauce? If so here is a sauce that is mild yet tasty. If I hadn't eaten this sauce before requesting the recipe, I doubt I would have tried it since the ingredients seem unlikely. This is an accomodating sauce; add your favorite sauteed veggies or use Italian sausage and they will work well since the base is so nice. Add more or less tomato juice to obtain desired consistency. If putting this into a crockpot, add more juice for cooking down. I serve this with angelhair pasta and shredded mozarella cheese as my friend, Virginia, did when we first ate this. This recipe makes "comfort food" out of spaghetti sauce!

SIMPLE PASTA SAUCE



Simple Pasta Sauce image

This is a simple pasta sauce that you can use for more than just spaghetti. Puree this recipe for pizza sauce or a great dipping sauce. I also like to make a variation for bruschetta by omitting the olive oil, using fire-roasted diced tomatoes and simply combining the uncooked ingredients. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving on toasts. -Deborah Markwood, Chester, Virginia
