Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce image

I have not tried this recipe. I got it from Cornell Cooperative Extension. You'll be amazed at how many uses you will find for this inexpensive vegetarian sauce. Use it for lasagna, as a sauce over chicken,or with ground beef as a traditional sauce for spaghetti. The sauce freezes well.
