HEART FRIENDLY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Heart Friendly Spaghetti Sauce image

I found this on a diabetic website awhile back. As my DH refuses to touch that looks like it might be healthy I froze the remaining sauce in 5 small zip bags. It freezes very well and is handy to have in serving sizes. I just defrost them in the micro. It's tasty as well as handy which is always a good thing.

After years of experimenting, my mom has perfected her hearty spaghetti sauce recipe. It's excellent served with a tossed salad and garlic bread. Although the recipe makes more than two servings, it freezes well. -Jennifer Shaw, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
