World's Best Spaghetti Sauce




Below is our recipe for The World's Best (and easiest) Spaghetti Sauce. The recipe states that you should simmer for an hour or two, but we are not able do that since we only have 80-minute blocks in which to cook, eat, and clean up. And do you know what? Our sauce was still perfect! If you do simmer your sauce for a while, be mindful of the amount of water that evaporates as the sauce cooks. You may need to add a little more water to thin it out.
