 Fat grams    per serving:              Approx. Cook Time: 10hrs In skillet 
  brown the ground beef;  drain off excess fat.  Transfer meat to a 
 crockery  cooker. In blender container place one can of tomatoes, 
 undrained.  Add the onion,  carrot and garlic.  Cover and blend till 
 chopped; stir into meat in  cooker.  Cut up the remaining can of tomatoes 
 but do not drain; stir into  meat mixture with tomato paste, parsley, bay 
 leaf, sugar, basil, salt,  oregano, and pepper. Mix well.  Cover and cook 
 on low heat setting for  8-10 hours.  To serve, turn to high-heat setting. 
  Remove bay leaf. Cover  and heat till bubbly, 10 minutes. Blend cold 
 water slowly into cornstarch; stir into tomato mixture.  Cover  and cook 
 10 minutes longer. Spoon over the spaghetti.  Pass the Parmesan cheese to 
 sprinkle  atop.----------A good change of pace in spaghetti sauce taste.
