Grandma's Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

FEBRUARY 10, 2014  /  JANELLE PARIS  / 

Don't you just love family recipes? I know I do. They bring back so many great memories. Here is one of my personal family recipes that comes from my grandma. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as my family has. Let it simmer on low heat all day and your home will be filled with the most delicious aroma.

You'll want to save this one for a simple, yet delicious Valentine's Day dinner!

There is so much beauty in food-stained, handwritten recipe cards.

Puree, Sauce, Paste, Parmesan Cheese, Sugar, Celery Stalk, Green Pepper, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Parsley, Water, (I add a dash of cinnamon to mine)*Notice the sun has not completely risen yet...it is best to make this in the morning so the flavors brew all day.

Add all ingredients together in a large stock pot.

Stir well and turn stovetop to medium heat.

Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally.

Enjoy!

Serve with Grandma Ruth's Meatballs!
