Very tasty and yummy recipe, with all of the things that you should not eat. My hidden desire....thanks for the delicious recipe!!
over 3 years agoHighly recommend using half the amount of tomato paste. If you follow the directions you end up with what more closely resembles a meaty spaghetti sauce.
