Schofstall...... Well from one German to another, I cannot speak for the "Italian-ness" of this sauce, but I can tell you it's gggoooodddd.... Can also be used for lasagna: these measurements are approximates: 1 lb hamburger 1 large white onion top 1 clove garlic (ha! one clove!!!! to taste should I say, I usually use 3 - 4) Chop onion and garlic and saute with hamburger until the onion is clear. You can add to this mixture oregano, salt, pepper and anything else you might like. Once the onions have turned clear add a Large can of stewed tomatoes, can of tomato sauce, and 1 or 2 small cans of tomato paste. Now for the secret ingredients: Add approx 1/4 cup of brown sugar and approximately 3 tablespoons of vinegar. You have to taste when making spaghetti sauce, you'll know how much to put in. You can slice up a bunch of mushrooms throw them in the sauce.......... Also, 1 bay leaf. Bring to a boil, turn heat down and simmer for as long as you can wait.... if grease appears on the top, sprinkle parmesan cheese to absorb and then spoon it out..... Oh and you can always add some nice rich red vino...... well good luck.
