Why I Love This Recipe
Source of Recipe:
My Kitchen
Jamie loves her mothers sauce.... Use this sauce for spaghetti, ravioli, tortelini or lasagna. This is my own recipe that took Years to perfect....
Note: I've recently been cooking this in my crock pot and that works great! Add browned beef & sausage and all other ingrediants and 1 clove minced garlic to crock pot and let simmer all day on low. Add the rest of the garlic to sauce an hour before it's finished cooking...
Number Of Servings: Use 1/3 the sauce for dinner and freeze the other 2/3 for future dinners.
