what im talking about is spagetti, or rather tomatoe sauce. not ragu or pizza sauce, but hommade, simmered delisousness made with love. recently i made a pot of sauce quickly in the morning for dinner that night and ended up bringing the crock pot and noodles to boil over to my parents house.
i was nervous as my mother takes sauce very seriously (honestly, half that loaf of bread you need to have hanging around is for her). it turns out my anxiety was unnessisary, bacause at the end of the meal, no plate had a drop of sauce on it and the loaf of bread was gone. this recipe is quite good with or without the mussels, but our meals had been rather meat heavy that week and i decided to go in the seafood direction. feel free to add meatballs, sausage, chicken parm or leave it as plain sauce.
