"I like to make this sauce and add the meat later, when we make the spaghetti, but you can add it in when making the sauce. Without the meat it is lowfat. It makes enough for 3 to 4 meals. I use dried minced onions, but you could use a fresh and a little bit more oil. I've also used garlic powder for the cloves to save time (or when I'm lazy!)"
