Bea's Italian Style Spaghetti Sauce

This is a family favourite. I've been making this for years, but had never taken the time to write it down. I finaly decided to take the time to type it up on my laptop as I was putting it together. I'm glad I did, now whenever someone asks for my recipe, I'll send them here, lol. I use the UNICO brand name sauce in this recipe, I have tried others but the sauce does not turn out as good. The amount of ml is per can, so 4- 680 ml cans sauce = 680 ml x 4, NOT 680 ml total for recipe. My appalogies to gertc96 for the confusion about the pepper. I typed in that ingredient twice without reallizing it. It is fixed now for others who will make this recipe. ;)
