Kay's Spaghetti and Lasagna Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: SHERIMA1 PHOTO BY: WANDA

"This sauce came from a good friend's Italian Mother-in-law. It is easy, and by far the best homemade sauce I know of. Great for both Spaghetti and Lasagna. Pssst...the secret is the sugar! Also, as I am now vegetarian, it tastes great with out the meat! Just substitute two tablespoons olive oil for the beef."
