Easy-Does-It Spaghetti

This recipe comes from Taste of Home America's Best Church Supper Recipes and was submitted by Genevieve Hrabe. The mace and allspice add a different flavor that is very nice. It is so much better on the second day. This is so easy to make and served with a nice green salad and garlic toast makes a great supper. Next time I will use V-8 juice instead of tomato juice and I did substitute 1/2 cup chopped onion for the dried onion and 2 cloves garlic instead of the powder.
