About

My grandpa’s homemade spaghetti sauce has been a favorite of mine (and most of my family and friends of the family) for as long as I can remember. It was always a treat when spaghetti was served for dinner. Unfortunately, my grandpa has suffered from Parkinson’s Disease for nearly thirty years and hasn’t been able to cook in many years. I was fortunate enough to learn the recipe by making the sauce with him back in my twenties, and it’s one I will cherish for the rest of my life.
