This spaghetti sauce is a tomato-based sauce that tastes great and uses a lot of tomatoes! It also freezes very well, so I like to make a batch and freeze half of it for future meals.

If you want less fat and fewer calories and still get all the taste, you can use ground turkey or chicken with this recipe (instead of ground beef).
