Grandma Rosie's Extra Smooth Spaghetti Sauce
Grandma Rosie's extra-smooth spaghetti sauce is a mild, sweet, super-smooth pasta sauce that has become a family favorite! It makes a great sauce for meatballs. I recommend adding them and letting the entire pot simmer and meld. And remember, the bay leaf is lucky!
