not quite your wise guy spaghetti sauce
(2 ratings)
Years ago the Sicilian owners of a nail shop gave me their family sauce recipe. I've changed it over the years to my own tastes. Their recipe was olive oil, garlic,hot pepper flakes, tomatoes and cheese. The rest is mine. Sauce is a family thing, but this one has just the right sweet/hot ratio for me.
