my spaghetti sauce
I use tomato paste to make a lot of items, and one of those is pasta sauce. This is the sauce I make often and finally decided to write a recipe for it. This is a basic sauce but is well liked by myself and my Thai family. The family said better than anything they have had in a restaurant.
