Easy Pasta Sauce

Kim A. Heaphy's Note:

Here is a recipe that I have been making for years. A great staple if you like a thick hearty pasta sauce. It can also be used as a base if you want to add ground meat or vegetables. One of my favourite ways to use this is to brown spare ribs and drop them in the sauce and simmer for a couple hours. The meat is so tender it falls off the bones!
