NOTES: * An exotically spiced spaghetti sauce with meat — This is a very adaptable sauce which can be used in any recipe requiring tomato sauces.
Best on spaghetti with garlic bread! * I have found that Hunt’s tomato products deliver the best flavor for this sauce; they are somewhat sweeter and less acidic than other brands.
I always use Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce.
* This spaghetti sauce is the work of about 2 years experimentation.
It has won some of the local cooking contests here in Maine.
