Spaghetti Meat Sauce Recipe
My family has been making pasta sauce since I can remember. But nothing like our friend Marissa. Her recipe got passed down years ago and she gets asked for it all the time. Sadly it’s one of those family recipes she just can’t give out. See our spaghetti meat sauce recipe came over with her mom’s family from Italy.
Don’t worry though she has shared her next best spaghetti meat sauce recipe! She likes to make huge batches of this sauce and put it in mason jars and freeze it so they have some ready for any meal. I think all of us always keep spaghetti noddles … making this a quick and easy weeknight dinner when we are on the go.
Spaghetti Meat Sauce Recipe
It’s easy to pull the sauce out and defrost it in the microwave as you cook the pasta and garlic bread (or skip the garlic bread!) Add in a nice salad and you have an easy dinner. Of course, I’m not scared to admit that on super busy days we will just have the pasta and meat sauce and be done.
