• 1-2 teaspoons sugar

Preparation

Step 1

brown ground beef with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar, mince garlic(your choice of amount) and fennel seed drain well when cooked through with no pink in meat

blend the tomato paste with the crushed tomatoes and stir in tomato sauce and then the water

blend the seasonings together(basil, Italian and garlic salt)
with the salt and pepper I prefer to use teasoning this is a blend of
garlic and onion salt with tarragon and dill it is delicious

blend all together and simmer until flavors are cooked thru
I use this for spaghetti and Lasagna as my base

can add ricotta and egg along with mozzarella for Lasagna
