Answer #1

1 pound hamburger 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup) 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 cup water 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 3/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves (optional) 1 bay leaf 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce 1 can (6ounces) tomato paste

*(I use 1/2 lb. extra-lean hamburger and 1/2 lb. Italian sausage and add sliced mushrooms and black olives)

Cook and stir hamburger, sausage, onion and garlic in 10-inch skillet until hamburger and sausage are light brown; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour.

Serve over hot spaghetti. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
