Mom's Quick Pasta Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: Sister PHOTO BY: gapch1026

"This is my mom's incredible (well, to everyone that's tried it) spaghetti sauce that I use for most of my Italian-style dishes. Add herbs and extra water as you prefer or to suit the occasion. Serve over your favorite pasta, or use as a lasagna sauce."
