Meaty Spaghetti Dinner served with Tatsu's Baguette

Hello Friends, Neighbours, and Guests!

This spaghetti sauce was made for me by my dear cousin when Cole was a newborn. She and her husband and their little guy came for a visit and after all the fun we had together, all there was left to do was to eat and eat and eat all the spaghetti sauce she had made. What a wonderful treat, not to have to cook, what with a 4 year old and a newborn and no sleep, etc. Thanks Katharine for your recipe, for all my friends to enjoy!

Tonight's dinner will be served with spaghetti noodles and Tatsu's Baguette, www.tatsusbread.com. Bon Appetit!
