Its really all about the sauce
Next time I’m making you my spaghetti with home-made sauce.
It’s what I should’ve done the first time, really.
Tomato sauce
Tomato paste
Fresh tomatoes (if available)
Brown sugar
Minced garlic (or salt/powder)
Onion (or salt/powder)
Mushrooms (fresh or canned)
Olives (Burgundy Pearls by choice, black otherwise)
Cheese (Parmesan, Mozzarella, perhaps Colby jack)
Hamburger
Oregano (or parsley, or whatever…)
Various (sometimes I add ketchup, bbq, or whatever I can find to spice it up a bit)
People usually seem to like it; which helps, since I tend to make a lot of it…
