My Linda makes the best spaghetti. She starts with canned sauce, either Wegman's Diavolo or Wegman's Grandpa's Sauce, and adds to it a small can of tomato sauce with green chilies. Then she adds a pound of Gianelli's hot sausage, either regular or turkey, depending on how healthy she wants the sauce to be. And she'll also add chopped green peppers, garlic and onions too. All of this goes into the crock pot, and over the next 5-6 hours she occasionally skims the fat off the top. I get home at 6:00PM, and the kitchen smells outrageous. She makes angel hair pasta and serves it up with some fresh Italian bread from Wegman's bakery (and sometimes she gets the more expensive bread - the $4 big round loaf with garlic cloves baked in it - yum). She likes cheese sprinkled over the top on hers, but I'm a purist - no cheese for me. Add a bottle of good Chianti classico from Pascale's, and it's a purely perfect Syracuse Italian night for us. When we move to TV later this year, we'll have to bring a stock with us from Wegman's. And any visitors from Central NY will be expected to transport some as well.
