Stick to Your Ribs Pasta Sauce image

When you live in a Northern climate, even summer nights can be chilly. This year-round pasta sauce tastes especially good after you've spent the day outdoors in the woods, working in the garden or plowing snow. My dad always loved a lot of meat in his pasta sauce so this was one of his favorites. Sometimes we would add diced Canadian bacon to the sauce as well. The whiskey really enhances the tomato flavor. -Guy Klinzing, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
