Easy Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
This easy spaghetti recipe with meat sauce takes just a few minutes of prep and a low simmer on the stove for a deep, meaty flavor. And I weigh my words! Each family has their own spaghetti sauce recipe, kept in strictest confidence. I took this one from my mother, who got it from her sister-in-law, who definitely took it from somewhere else. As we adapt it with each generation, it only gets better! I can confidently say this is the best sauce I’ve tasted, period. Don’t omit any ingredient—it’s this combination that makes it taste so good.
