Basic Sauce for Pasta Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Sauce Recipes. (Basic Sauce for Pasta Recipe). This is a basic mild pasta sauce my mother made for years and is still a family favorite. You can add browned ground beef, mushrooms, grated carrots, zucchini or other veggies. We especially like mushrooms or ground beef. It's easy and quick but as with most things like this, the longer and slower it simmers the better it tastes.
