Introduction

My dad made spaghetti quiet frequently when I was growing up. It used to take ALL day to make. This isn't quiet as fresh and homemade as my dad's but it is still good! I usually use 2 different brands of sauce to blend the different flavors together. My dad made spaghetti quiet frequently when I was growing up. It used to take ALL day to make.
