> Hello,
> The spaghetti recipe is, as best I remember:
> 
> about 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef (or just one pound if you wish)
> 1 can tomato sauce (the medium ones, about 13 or 14 oz)
> 1 can tomato paste (same, about 13 oz or so)
> 1 envelope spaghetti sauce mix (catelli or whatever)
> 1 1/2 cups water
> 1 bay leaf
> Italian seasoning or a mixture of basil and oregano -- you know, a handful or so
> sliced green olives
> 1 tbsp sugar
> 
> This recipe has always called for green pepper and onions, chopped and sauteed with the hamburger -- but I never include them.
> 
> You just simmer for about half an hour.
> 
> It's good to sprinkle parmesan on it -- but I sometimes don't have it.
