LINDA'S MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE
My own creation that I started making many moons ago. It's a great sauce, with LOTS of flavor packed into one pan! Peppers and Tabasco give it just a slight kick, but you can adapt it to your liking. You can also add 1 c. good red wine if you like, at the same time you add the tomatoes. I add water 1/2 c. at a time during cooking time, so sauce doesn't get too thick. Depending on how long you decide to cook it, depends on how much water to add. The more you cook it the tastier it is.

LINDA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This is a thick, meaty spaghetti sauce that my Mother taught me to make as a teenager, and has received raves in three states. I try to use low salt tomato sauce whenever possible. I don't normally add sugar but based on reviews I've added it in.
