...it was
the mix for spaghetti sauce that every Italian Mother used in Maple Shade, New Jersey back in the 1950's. They bought it in little packets at the Ack-A-Me (Acme) Store and mixed it with water and oil and tomato paste or puree.
It's no longer available in small packets, just in a 15 ounce packet and using it makes 2 1/2 gallons of sauce.
In a large saucepot, combine the following ingredients: 1 # 10 can tomato
sauce paste or puree, 2 or 1 # 10 cans water, 1 pouch
Spatini Seasoning, 1 cup oil. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Other recipes are on the package.
You might include a couple pounds of cooked ground beef or italian sausage or meatballs.
Use what you can, refrigerate the rest.
