I haven’t tried pasta water…but, I am sure that would work. It may help thicken the sauce, as well. Let me know how it works!

I havent tried this yet, but will soon. Could I substitute pasta water for the 2 cans of water listed in the recipe? Thanks and thanks for sharing!

True comfort food, right? Our spaghetti sauce never had sugar either growing up, but I have learned that a bit of sugar helps cut the acidity from the tomatoes.

Spaghetti is my all time favorite comfort food. So much like my recipe except for the sugar. Makes me long for spaghetti and a great garlic bread!

Thank you, Aunt Wanda. I don’t think mother added sugar either, but it helps with processing the acid of the tomatoes. Did you get the part that mother asked G.W. to get the recipe for her when he was in the navy? He brought this one back for her…maybe that’s why it’s similar.

Ah, thank you, Phyllis. I know you have loved having your feet under her table for this recipe, too. I am thankful she has kept it so well for all of us to enjoy!

Thank you, Jennifer. The first round of ice and snow hit last night and we are in for round 2 tonight! All warm here. Hope all is well with you, sweet friend.
