A friend of mine has lost her recipe for Spaghetti & Meat Sauce that was on an American Beauty box many years ago. She loved it and used to use all the time. She remembers that the last step was adding a bit of baking soda, after the rest of it was mixed up. Then letting it simmer for awhile. Would I be able to get help with this for her?

This recipe reminds me of my mom’s simple version for a quick pasta meal. She omitted the marjoram and mushrooms but I’ve often thought of her wonderful spaghetti recipe and how she pulled it off so quickly (she always used American Beauty so now I know her secret LOL). Thanks for the recipe and wonderful memories.

American Beauty spaghetti sauce mix cannot be found anywhere here in Oklahoma. I don’t like any of the bottled sauces as they seem to be too sweet for my liking. American Beauty was the best.
