This sauce was made by the Italian mother-in-law of a close friend. The easiest homemade sauce I am aware of, it is also very good. Excellent for lasagna and spaghetti. Oh, and the sugar is the key! Additionally, since I'm a vegetarian now, it tastes fantastic without the meat! Simply swap out the beef for two tablespoons of olive oil.
