Introduction

My mom's spaghetti sauce with additions by me and by my sister-in-law. It's very nutritious and filling, and adaptable to whatever veggies or herbs you have on hand. You only notice the shredded veggies as extra texture. Yum! My mom's spaghetti sauce with additions by me and by my sister-in-law.
