Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
When Grandma wrote down this recipe, she was generally using her own homemade canned spaghetti sauce. She says store-bought sauce contains much more granulated sugar than her homemade version, so when she makes Spaghetti Lasagna with prepared sauce, she omits the sugar.
