Ode To Grandpa Patwell's Spaghetti Sauce

Growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota, my dad would make his spaghetti sauce on Saturday afternoons. I remembered smelling the sauce as it simmered all day. It was always a highlight when he made this dinner. Now, Grandpa would brown hamburger for the sauce, but it isn't necessary to enjoy the memories. For vegetarians, the sauce over spaghetti with parmansan cheese is a great family meal. I miss my dad and think of him when we make this meal. Here is his delicious recipe:

46 ounces tomatoe juice
6 ounces tomatoe paste
8 ounces tomatoe sauce
1/2 tsp. rosemary
1/2 tsp marjoram
1 tsp basil
1/4 tsp dry mustard
2 bay leaves
1 tbs parsley
1/2 tsp celery salt
1 tbp oregano
1/2 tsp onion salt
1 tsp garlic salt

Add all the ingredients in a pot and simmer for at least one hour. This makes a great tasting smooth sauce. Serve over spaghetti with parmansan.

If your family is fussy about chunks of tomatoes this the right sauce for you. This sauce is very kid friendly. ENJOY!
