FAMILY-FAVORITE PASTA SAUCE
This hearty Italian-style meat sauce has a sweetness that I really love. It's the recipe I use for spaghetti, lasagna and gnocci, which I bake with mozzarella and Parmesan on top. -Jody L Bober, St Clairsville, Ohio

PAPA'S FAVORITE PASTA SAUCE
Growing up, Sunday meant "Pasta" in our home. But believe it or not, Papa never cared too much for the traditional italian "gravy" made with beef or pork. He developed this recipe and loved the lightness of this chicken sauce. So while my friends were having spagetti and meatballs; we were having shells and chicken! You get the benefits of two delicious meals in one; tender juicy chicken and peppers AND pasta sauce in one!

Steps:
- Wash, cut up pieces of chicken; pat dry with paper towel.
- Season with 1 tsp.
- salt; set aside.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil and saute onions and garlic.
- Add chicken pieces skin-side down and brown lightly.
- Add the sweet peppers, tomato puree, basil, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper flakes.
- Cover and simmer over low- medium heat on the stovetop for 1-1/2 hour.
- Note: Usually, tomato puree suggests adding a can of water.

- However, if sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add 1/2 can of water (or wine) a little at a time until its consistency is to your liking.
WORLD'S BEST PASTA SAUCE!
Well, my Lasagna has become quite popular, and I think the sauce from that makes amazing meat sauce as well. So I thought I would post it by its self.

PAPA'S PASTA SAUCE (GREAT ON SPAGHETTI, ZITI, OH YEAH RIGATONI!)
This is my dad's sauce. It tastes like Marinara with a pizazz. I love it. I only eat this and homemade marinara. Other than that, I don't like tomato sauce.
