Zesty Meatless Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
Zesty Meatless Spaghetti Sauce
In search for a meatless spaghetti sauce I came across this
delicious pot of yumminess. This is a fantastic sauce. I wasn’t sure if I would
like it or not because I grew up on sauce with ground beef in it. It’s hard to
change your ways if you know what I mean. The only time I have ever had any spaghetti
sauce without meat came from a jar on the grocery store shelf.
I was really impressed with the ease and simplicity of this
recipe. The longer it cooks the better the flavor. It was even better the next
day. This would be a really great recipe to double or even triple then freeze
for future use.
