This is my family’s spaghetti sauce. We make this sauce around every other weekend. This has been a tradition in my whole family forever. Whenever my family gets together, we have pasta with my grandparent's homemade sauce. My grandparents passed down the sauce recipe to my dad, who has been making the sauce ever since he met my mom. My dad uses lots of ingredients in the sauce including: tomato paste, tomato puree, garlic, and many more items. We make the sauce and it takes around one full day to get it done. After all the ingredients are in, the sauce needs to simmer for around 3-4 hours. Then we put it in plastic containers and put 6it in the freezer to freeze. When we have spaghetti for dinner, we take it out of the freezer to thaw and then we heat it up on the stove. Then we pair it with some spaghetti and eat it. My family and I love to make spaghetti sauce and then eat it.
