Instructions: * If you have no Italian sesoning mix, use a combination of Italian herbs

(oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, and marjoram) in any combination.

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and blend well. Spoon mixture into a 6-inch square of aluminum foil and fold to make airtight. Label package as Spaghetti Seasoning mix. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 6 months.

Makes 1 package (about 1/3 cup) of mix.

Spaghetti Sauce: Brown 1 lb lean ground beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease. Add 2 (8 oz) cans of tomato sauce, 1 (6 oz) can of tomato paste, 2 3/4 cups tomato juice or water, and the seasoning mix. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
