Now it's weird because my mother was about as Italian as McGinty's Goat (in other words, not Italian at all. None. Zip. Zilch. Niente.) but this sauce means "spaghetti sauce" to me.
It's funny, but when I came home from living in Italy, Mom asked me what I'd like to eat. I immediately replied that i wanted HER spaghetti. "You were living in the land of pasta!" Yes, but it wasn't HER spaghetti!
