Tips & Warnings

• The traditional recipe calls for ground Beef and Pepperoni in the sauce which is very good as well. The no yolk noodles are very good and you can't tell the difference which helps when you are revising a recipe to make it healthier without compromising the taste.
• By making your own Spaghetti sauce, you can reduce the sodium and omit the msg. Just make sure the amount is equivalent to 2 large jars of purchased sauce.
