Sam Lovera's mother, Madeline, thought that spaghetti sauce would be the perfect complement to all of the products Sam's father sold in the store and Lovera's first sauce was born. The recipe starts with whole garden-fresh tomatoes and simmered with garlic, onion, and a touch of spice. If the sauce tastes like it's simmered for hours that's because it has. The sauce contains no meat and is perfect when paired with any pasta or polenta. Toss it together with meatballs or Italian sausage for a quick and easy dinner that will taste like you worked in the kitchen for hours.

Ingredients: Tomatoes, water, dried chopped onion, dried minced garlic, dried red pepper, bell pepper, spices.
