Spaghetti sauce

When I was in Kenya recently some of the ladies were talking about their attempts to make a good spaghetti sauce. This is the sauce I started making when Bob and I married in 1978. It still works for me. Try it and see if it works for you. We’ve always thought it was yummy. =) I have never been tempted to buy “store bought” sauce.


Linda's spaghetti sauce:
Brown two pounds (1 Kilo) ground beef or turkey with 2 cups onions. Drain well either in a colander or on paper towels.
Add 1 large can tomatoes (or about 4 cups peeled) - I cut them with scissors into small pieces
1 340 g. can tomato paste
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar (necessary if you use tomato paste because it keeps the sauce from being bitter)
1 or 2 cups of water as needed
Simmer for an hour.
