Here is how you make Mommy's Special Spaghetti Sauce:

Prior to turning on the heat I find it useful to have all of the cans opened and ready to be poured. Timing this correctly usually helps prevent the garlic from browning (burning).1. Heat Olive oil in large (stock) pot on med-low heat (3).2. Saute garlic. Do not allow to brown.3. Add oregano and basil and stir.4. Add the tomato paste. Mix well.5. Pour in the diced tomatoes and can of water. (Water is added to boil off and allow the sauce to thicken). Stir.6. Add the low calorie sweetener (Splenda). (This helps to reduce the acidity of the tomatoes. Equal amounts of white sugar can be used if you do not want or have low cal sweetener)7. Allow to simmer, stirring often on low heat for a minimum of 1 hr to allow the sauce to thicken as desired and keeping in mind that any meat added needs to be cooked thoroughly.This recipe yields approx. 12 1-cup servings.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MEGADOOWAPADOO.
