A local grocer is closing after 114 years of business. Russo’s has brought the Grand Rapids area the best of Italian, Greek, & Middle Eastern Cuisine. They will be missed by many.

My Grandma was an avid recipes collector, and after she past I was blessed with the whole collection. Like my grandma a spent many hours looking through them, noticing the really dirty and worn ones. Those were my grandma’s most used favorite ones, the ones that are family favorites to this day.

One of those recipes was one from Russo’s, their spaghetti sauce, meatball, and lasagna recipe. It is the BEST. The recipe is the one I use every time I make spaghetti. There are Never any left overs!
