Kay's Spaghetti and Lasagna Sauce

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Sauce Recipes. (Kay's Spaghetti and Lasagna Sauce). This sauce came from a good friend's Italian mother-in-law. It is easy, and by far the best homemade sauce I know of. Great for both spaghetti and lasagna. Pssst...the secret is the sugar! Also, as I am now vegetarian, it tastes great with out the meat! Just substitute two tablespoons olive oil for the beef.
