- Spread onto celery stalks if using.
Thank you.

It makes more than a quart, about 40 ounces. Says that it served 4-6, but it can serve more if you're using it as a sauce for spaghetti or other noodles.
The recipe says brown onions, but I would say yellow onions instead.

I was vegetarian for 3 months. I felt great had lots of energy and got on the scale and had gained 30 lbs! Apparently all the carbs I was eating were not doing me any favors! I went back to lean meats and vegetables and very little carbs.
Thank you! It looks easy to make. I guess I'll need to learn how to can...LOL. Can you tell me how much this recipe yields?

Sure, here it is: My husband found it in our local newspaper and it's the only one he uses now. We makes huge batches of it and process it in quart jars, so we can have some for months.

This recipe looks just like what I made "in my previous life". I'm 7 months out with my RNY. I cannot have egg/flour noodles, flour, or peas...all 3 items are too high in carbs.
