I don't know about you, but spaghetti is my all time favorite dish. It doesn't hurt that I have 20 tomato plants planted around my house, or that I scored 26 boxes of pasta (1 lb. each) for free last time they were on sale. I'll explain the bargains later, but on to the sauce, because the Sauce is Boss!
