I learned to make spaghetti sauce when I was working as a butler and listening to the old Finnish lady that did the cooking. I've been asked dozens of times for the recipe. But it's rather difficult when you're taught by a dash of this, a pinch of that, and about that much of something else. The recipe I've written here likely comes close to what I make when I just pour stuff in a pot. I mention to taste it here and there because not all ingredients are consistent when we purchase them. Great spaghetti (or lasagna) sauce should be a bit sweet. You should also be able to taste enhanced tomato sauce. All in all, this recipe will be a great starting point for creating your own family tradition. I save my lasagna to showcase our un-traditional Christmas dinner.
