Introduction

When my son was 4, we found out he had a milk allergy. One of his favorite meals was spaghetti, but I noticed most jars of tomato sauce had cheese in them. This recipe is what I've been making for him for the past 10 years, my family loves it. It does seem a smidge high in sodium, you may want to try it with no/low sodium Hunt's. It's even better with added vegetables like onions, celery, zucchini, or mushrooms. When my son was 4, we found out he had a milk allergy.
