Meatless Spaghetti Sauce from 1958 before Marinara
From morninlite 15 years ago
- 45 minutes to make
- Serves 6
I remember telling my grandma about a pasta salad. She asked what pasta was. I said you know, linguini, farafeli, elbow... she said "Why all the fancy names? Just say Spagetti or macaroni...." Well this recipe is from an era when Spagetti sauce was "Spagetti Sauce" or "Meatless Spagetti Sauce" . Read more I remember having to ask a waitress what marinara was. Mom got this from the Kalamazoo Gazette in 1958. See less
