This dish
takes only a few minutes of working time but hours to cook to
perfection so plan accordingly. However, it simmers without any
work on your part so it's well worth the wait. When the sauce
is ready, then and only then cook the spaghetti. When
you have hungry friends coming over, let the delicious aroma of
this dish greet them. If you have leftover sauce, you can
freeze some, use some for lasagna, as a "Sloppy Joe"
for pitas, or simply reheat with some leftover pasta or rice.
