2 tbsp. sugar

Here is how you make Dottie's Homemade Spaghetti Sauce:

Makes about 10- half cup servings of sauce.While bringing 4 cups of salted water to a boil with a tbsp. of oil in a large pot for the noodles, I begin to brown the meat in a 10-12 inch skillet. Cook on med. high heat, breaking it up into small chunks. While it is browning, I cut up the celery, onions, and mince the garlic. When meat is done browning, I drain off the fat. I empty out the browned meat on several layers of paper towels that is placed on a dinner plate. A healthier version, without sacrificing the taste, is to drain off the meat from the fat. Place the meat in a mesh strainer and run very hot water over the ground beef to rinse off any lingering fat. Place on several layers of paper towels on a dinner plate. And use a small amount of olive oil or 'healthy' oil to saute the vegetables.Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water.After the vegetables are sauted, add the meat back into the pan, add in the following: tomatoe sauce and/or diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and sugar. Simmer for about 15-20 min., usually when the pot of noodles are done. Stir occationally to prevent the sauce from burning on the bottom of the skillet.Wah-lah, you are done, Enjoy!Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user 5BLUEBIRDS.
