This is such a wonderful spaghetti sauce! My family and I really loved the flavor of it and I also love the ease of it all. It's also nice to find a recipe where I had all of the ingredients on hand and didn't have to make a special trip to the store. Awesome in every way! This recipe will be used in my household for many years to come! Thank you for sharing your recipe silky!
