I remembered it when I was doing a writing exercise with my class about childhood food memories. We used to sing the jingle, and our cocker spaniel would howl along with us. So, now that I'm older than my mom was when she used to make it for us, I went online to see if anyone else remembered Spatini, and found that it had recently been discontinued. I purchased a box on ebay so that I could experience the wonderful flavor a few more times before it goes away forever. But i'll also try the recipes several of you have thoughtfully provided. As another writer suggested, Lawry, why not just offer it online? Why lose a great customer base? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Post By Bonnie S.

"The product you have contacted us about has been discontinued. We are sorry that we do not have any remaining stock. Our company's goal is to provide consumers with a variety of products to meet their needs and preferences. As you know, marketing is a complex function, and many business factors are taken into consideration before discontinuing a product. Before a product becomes available at the retail level, much time and expense is involved in perfecting the formulation, consumers focus testing, and marketing support. It truly saddens us when we must discontinue a product. However, consumer demand is a major factor. When the level of demand is insufficient to ensure that consumers receive high quality products at an affordable price, the product may be discontinued. We apologize that this product is no longer available and hope you will continue to enjoy our products." This is their response.

Take one package of Good Seasons Italian salad dressing and recipe mix,(this will already have your onion and garlic powder in it. Add 1 tsp. of light brown sugar and than add a pinch of crushed red pepper. Make sure it's not old. I think that's the zing in spatini. You can put this through a blender. Use fresh onions and fresh minced garlic in your sauce or meat loaf recipes instead of adding extras to the powder. Keep it simple. No need to store. If you have a smidgen of spatini left over put them side by side and taste. Thank you to everyone who had an idea and shared. The company's apparent disconcern should not be a factor in our collective efforts to crack the spatini code. Today is the day to make the kettle sing.

Perhaps that's where their new sauce mix is made, for all I know. If something's any good, you can bet it will be discontinued. Anybody remember the "new Coke" and what a miserable flop that was? I doubt there's anything so expensive in Spatini that would make it unprofitable to manufacture. It's just corporate greed. "They" want us all to buy tomato-flavored high-fructose corn syrup, a.k.a. spaghetti sauce in jars, and that stuff is too foul to eat. Someone who's any good at these things should submit any remaining Spatini to a lab and have it analyzed for ingredients and distribute the recipe.

With the huge numbers of people that would remember his kindness, what better legacy could a son leave for his father? After all, Lawrys has repeatedly stated they would never make it again! rusty Report Spam or Abuse RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Post By rusty (Guest Post) (12/12/2007) After reading all this (and I, too miss not having Spatini) I note with interest that no one still having a package of it has gone to the trouble to post the ingredients in the order listed nor have they posted the nutritional data that might allow any of us to come close to duplicating the recipe. I know I would welcome seeing a front and back scanned image of an original envelope as a starting point to recreate an acceptible copycat version. Even the package contents weight offers some idea of the quantities when we also have ingredient ordered listings, and the nutritional information offers ideas as to the quantity by knowing sodium and other listings. I also got essentially the same runaround as all of you others did when contacting the company. Best thing we can do is to keep the pressure on then until some forward looking executive makes a favorable decision. Letters, Emails, phone calls in a high enough volume will eventually provide enough pressure, but we can't let up. Now that I have found you, I will continue to monitor for whatever information I can use to begin putting together a decent copycat creation. Rusty Report Spam or Abuse RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Post By Linda K. (Guest Post) (12/11/2007) I just called the Lawry's complaint line and spoke to a customer representative. She explained that the Spatini product was discontinued because the stores were not ordering it due to lack of demand. She added, "The young people want spagetti sauce that they can heat up out of a jar." The other reason is that the price of the product would increase to $20-$25.00 per box because of the seasonings. The customer rep suggested that I try the "Lawry Spagetti Mix" and I can also order it on line. I told her I wanted the Spatini Mix! I am willing to pay more for the product because I can make alot of spagetti sauce with one small box so it would pay for itself. Why can't Lawry package the Spatini mix (according to demand) and sell it on line since there is not a great demand for it? The customer rep said she would pass on my suggestion and comments to the marketing department.

The rep informed me of two reasons why Spatini was discontinued. One possible reason was poor sales ( I doubt this was the problem.) The second possible reason was the cost of the ingredients to make the spice mix was too high to continue marketing. I feel this was the reason it was taken off the market. I also inquired whether the recipe was for sale, this would be an excellent opportunity for spice giant McCormick's to purchase and remarket Spatini, I was told that the recipe was not for sale. I was also told that there are no current plans to bring the spice mix back too the market.

(02/26/2007) By mommom2girls RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I have been everywhere looking for this beloved family favorite! I wrote an email to Lawry's at their webste WWW. LAWRYS .com I asked them to please do not discontinue it. It is one of the few reminders I still have of my mother who has been gone for twelve years now. I know that many feel the same way. Spatini could never be duplicated!! (02/27/2007) By Carol King. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I use GOYA ADOBO all purpose seasoning w/pepper in my spaghetti sauce it contains oregano, tumeric,salt, granulated garlic. It can be found in the mexican foods. It is my secret ingredient, and it is wonderful on all meats, chicken, pot roasts, casseroles, stuffing, rice, soups, pinto beans, Italian dishes. (02/27/2007) By Dee RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce 40 yrs. plus and IT'S GONE. Bring it back NOW...PLEASE! WE HATE JAR SAUCE. I've tried different ways to doctor it up, but without Spatini, it's just not the same and never will be. (03/01/2007) By Enter your name Janice from Williamsport, PA. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I called Lawrys and they said they are telling people to buy the Lawrys dry "original" spaghetii sauce mix. I can't believe how upset I actually am over this. Spatini has been our family secret recipe for hamburger barbque forever! I asked if enough people call might they continue making it again and they said "you never know". Then they tried to get my name and address to send me coupons and such. Didn't know if I could trust it, or if Iwould be on some huge mailing list then. I miss you spatini! (03/01/2007) By EmeraldEyes RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Using spatini sauce mix is the only way I will eat spaghetti, today I went to six different markets looking for some spatini I had no idea it was discontinued. Please put it back on the market I love spaghetti. I'm the one who fixes the spaghetti for the family since my mother past, and we always used spatini. Sorrowfully hurt (03/01/2007) By mira RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I too have been using Spatini for 42 years. I'm very upset that they discontinued it. Please bring it back NOW. Thank you! (03/02/2007) By Bonnie RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce If anyone would like I have some for sale. When i find them in the stores where i live i pick them up. The price will depends on what store I go to and how much I pay. prose1960 AT hotmail.com (03/02/2007) By Pat RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Another sad Spatini customer. My mother introduced me to this dry seasoning. I tried 3 different stores to purchase this product and one store manager told me it was discontinued. How can they discontinue a product that's been around for so long. I made meatballs and sauce for my son who came home from college and it just wasn't the same. Maybe Lawry's will read this posting and bring this product back. I miss my mom and I miss this wonderful mix. (03/03/2007) By Peg Beisel RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I have developed a "replacement" for Spatini. It is for sale at EBay. Search for Spatini and my listing is titled "Inspired by Spatini". Really is almost identical and about the same price!!!! (03/03/2007) By Dave RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I just found out last evening (3/3/07) that Spatini has been discountinued. BRING ME TO TEARS! My Nana is deceased now for 23 years and SPATINI is the "secret ingredient" contained in her lucious ITALIAN MEATBALLS. Those meatballs are a sentimental food to me. And I recently shared my meatballs at work and they were the RAVE! The company better 'rethink' this decision!!!! (03/04/2007) By Deb from Williamsport RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce my mom has used spatini to make her spaghetti sauce and bbq since I was a kid and taught me how to cook them with it. I hate companies who take products off the market, when a large amount of population use them they better bring it back. (03/04/2007) By barry RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I too was introduced by my mom to Spatini over 40 years ago. I used it in tons of recipes to enhance flavor. Perhaps we should begin an email campaign to Lawry. Money talks. It enough people contact them, maybe they will reconsider or at least post the recipe. (03/04/2007) By Denise M RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I am going crazy because I do not like spaghetti sauce without spatini.....I can not believe it is discontinued.....how upsetting.......i sent my husband out to 5 stores and he doesn't look for things very well in a store and he said he can not find it, then he said they discontinued it....I thought he was lying......i told him don't come home without it....He is home but no spatini....boo hoo....... (03/04/2007) By Lisa Ukey RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce We have always used Spatini spaghetti sauce mix but it has been discontinued at my store. (Giant) I have found that McCormick makes an item called "Thick & Zesty" spaghetti sauce mix in an envelope that is a very good replacement for Spatini. Joan M (03/05/2007) By Joan M RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I too am disappointed in the discontinuation of Spatini. I have been using it for 30 years in my meatloaf which my family loves. I have also shared it with friends and family. We have searched through stores in the Lehigh Valley to find out it was discontinued. I wrote to Lawry's and they never responded. What a disappointment. We LOVE Spatini, please bring it back! (03/07/2007) By Liz from Easton Pa RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce the only place i'm able to find spatini anymore is on ebay and when that's gone it's gone forever too bad i've used it as my secret ingredient for 30 years (03/08/2007) By lisa illiano RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My friend "Liz from Easton" told me about Spatini 10 years ago and it has become the only meatloaf I make. I can't believe we will never be able to enjoy that meatloaf again! What a delicious mix that was. What were they thinking pulling that off the market?? On the other hand, had she never told me about that mix in the first place I wouldn't be I the quandry that I am today...hmmmm! Darn Liz! (03/08/2007) By Jen from Bethlehem RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce lawrys have you lost your mind. bring it back (03/10/2007) By judy d RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I called 1-800-896-9067 and was told among other things that if it was a medical emergency to call another 800 number.Could this be the reason it was pulled? (03/10/2007) By Enter youjean RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I sent my husband to 5 stores to try and find Spatini because it is the only thing I ever use to make a noodle dish that my family loves,it was given to me by a nun that I worked with at a nursing home. Please start making spatini again,I try to add my own spices but just was not the same. (03/10/2007) By kay Reuwer RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Homemade homemade Spatini (tasted very much like the original) 6 tsp. brown sugar 4 tsp. parmesan cheese 4 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 tsp. garlic powder 2 tsp. basil 2 tsp. oregano 2 tsp. thyme 1 tsp. rosemary 1 tsp. sweet paprika 1/2 tsp. dill 1/2 tsp. taragon Grind in blender and keep wrapped up in freezer Use three teaspoons per 6 oz of paste or 15 of sauce This is not as salty as Spatini. I also added dried minced garlic to the sauce after I started cooking it and a bit of the minced garlic in a jar to give it a fresher taste. If you add fresh parsley with any dried spice it will intensify the spice and give it a fresh spice taste (03/10/2007) By Greg RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Correction to Spatini Recipe posted 3/10/07 Meant, I added some dried minced onion to the sauce (not dried minced garlic) after I started cooking the sauce. You also might want to add a bit more onion powder after you start cooking the sauce (I didn't want to over do the onion powder in the mix); I liked the sauce with a bit more onion powder (but was also recreating my mom's recipe (which is not all Spatini for seasoning)). Taste it while you are cooking and add more onion powder if you like. I made spaghetti sauce last night and thought it quite Spatiniesque. The bit of the minced garlic in a jar added did add a bit more kick (03/10/2007) By Greg RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I have been making spaghetti sauce for almost 45 years and i have never made it without Spatini! What am I going to do? I am making it today for my family (3-11-2007) and I know they are going to notive a difference! What will I say? Help! Please bring it back or at least post the ingredients so that I can make my own seasoning! Please! Thank you...Wish me luck today! (03/11/2007) By MARY ANN BATH RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mother used Spatini as far back as I can remember. I've used it for the 40 years I've been married. For the 10 years my son has been married, his wife asks me to make my spaghetti for her birthday. We had the last Spatini spaghetti for her birthday on Mar. 8. I don't know what we'll use now. I'm not Italian, so Spatini was my only recipe. (03/11/2007) By Rose Ann S. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce For several weeks I went from store to store looking for spatini. I called my mother and she said that it was a good selling item that they just might have run out. A week later I finally went up to customer service and asked them myself. They said it was discontinued. I was very upset. I called my mother and she was upset too. We have been using spatini for generations. Please bring it back. I can't make my spaghetti with meatsauce anymore. (03/14/2007) By Megan RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce If you check the Lawry's site, you can order either regular or extra thick spaghetti sauce spice mix. I think that I may try it. I am lost without spatini. (03/14/2007) By Chris RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Oh my goodness. Tell me it's not true. NO MORE SPATINI - now what am I to use. I started using it in Philadelphia when we first got married over 33 years ago. Why cancel a good thing after all these years? I just got my friends hooked on it. BRING IT BACK (03/15/2007) By Kathy - St.Petersburg RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Oh no! What'll I do without my Spatini??? Not only do I use it my sauce but also mix it into the meatballs! So do my grown daughters and recently one of my granddaughters asked me for my Spatini meatball recipe! Puleeze bring back my Spatini to me! (03/16/2007) By Grandma Pat RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Why, oh why did you discontinue Spatini.. I used it to make my spaghetti sauce, meatballs, etc. also my ever delicious spatini dip with veggies. Please bring it back. (03/17/2007) By Also Anonymous RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce HOW COULD YOU! Spatini has been a part of my Italian cooking for over 35 years. I have passed down so many recipes and can't believe that such a popular item would be discontinued. We need to boycott the manufacturer and cause alot of {NOISE } and maybe it will come back :) (03/17/2007) By Toni RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce To contact Lawry's to complain, go to: http://lawrys.com/index.cfm?lry_value=contact_us Or call 1800-9-LAWRYS (03/17/2007) By ThriftyFun RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My father manufactured SPATINI. I have the original recipe. Those on this site are just wrong. His legacy is your admiration. Thank you. (03/18/2007) By Son of SPATINI RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Why did the company discontinue Spatini? I have looked at both Safeway and Giant Food and cannot find it??? We need Spatini back on the shelves as I have used it for years and have told many cooks about the product! My grandchildren love "Grams Spaghetti" and I have never used any other product except SPATINI! (b)Editor's Note:(/b) I've tried using their form on the site to let them know there are many that want it back but it didn't work. Call the company 1-800-9-LAWRYS and complain. If enough do it, they might bring it back. (03/19/2007) By Juanita Pack Are you kidding me?!? oh my gee, I can't believe you people took it away! One question WHY? What was the big thing? I don't care that you can get it off of ebay, i want it back in the stores! This is an outrage, you people took away family secrets, family recipes, and lots more. Did you even use it? And if you didn't you wouldn't even care because you never even used it. It's sooo stupid!! I'm not only speaking for me, I'm speaking for everyone! I want it back... Please & Thank you =] (03/19/2007) By Danielle RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce BIG HUGE MISTAKE!!! Please bring back my Spatini! I cannot make anything without it! It's not the same. You have taken away my secret for the best spaghetti that my entire family has enjoyed for years. My mother and Grandmother have used it for many many years and I am speaking for them because they don't have a computer. They are as outraged as I am and as everyone else here is. How many people have to beg and plead before you bring it back? People are making a killing on ebay selling it, but it won't be on ebay forever! Please, please, please bring it back! Thank you! (03/21/2007) By Carol Baker RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce this product needs to be re-instated asap. you have discontinued a product that has been used by several generations for many different recipes and it needs to be brought back please. there is a large group forming on line that is planning on a national boycott of lawry's products if our voices are not heard. (03/21/2007) By michael RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce To SON OF SPATINI-----can you please post the original recipe if you have it? thank you very much. (03/21/2007) By michael RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I am thrilled to hear everyone's stories that match my own. How do I tell my two sons that they can never have "Yiayia Chicken" using Spatini Spaghetti Sauce ever again. Not because Yiayia died, but because Lawry's killed the Sauce!! BRING IT BACK!! (03/21/2007) By Kathy Polites RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce anyone wishing to voice their opinion and ask for Spatini to be brought back should email lawry's at Comments.lawrys@unilever.com. let them have it......... (03/21/2007) By michael RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I cannot believe it is gone, We just have to make them start selling it again, I am willing to pay whatever the set the price at. Just please put it back on the market NOW! (03/22/2007) By Barb Myers Call LAWRYS! anyone interested in trying to get lawry's to reinstate spatini should call 800 952 9797. they must log every call and have been told this will have an effect if enough people voice their displeasure with the discontinuation. please call........ (03/23/2007) By mike RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Dear Son of Spatini: I did not write that I had recreated Spatini. I wrote that I had created a mix that I thought gave the sauce a Spatiniesque taste. I decided to share the recipe to help out (note, without any motive for making money) Greg (03/23/2007) By Greg RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I just want to add my voice to what for me is a real loss in my life. Spatini is the best and I will call and write the maker to express my opinion about their decision not to make the product. Please feel free to contact me with any receipie information about Spatini or just to discuss what can be done to get it back in the stores. pjm90 AT comcast.net (03/24/2007) By Paul M RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I have been looking for Spatini for months. Asked at all the grocery stores in my area and not any of them told me it was discontinued. I couldn't sleep tonight and decided to do a search for it. To my surprise it was discontinued in Dec. My family has used Spatini for years and does not like any other sauce. They need to bring it back or my family will never have spaghetti again! (03/25/2007) By Anna RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce greg--son of spatini, that is nice of you. where would i be able to find your recipe. thank you (03/27/2007) By mike RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I implore every person wanting lawry's to reinstate spatini to call 800 952 9797 and hit 0 for operator/complaint line. Have been told that many calls are coming in but more are needed to change marketing's mind. Have everyone you know call this number. There can't be enough calls made. thank you! (03/27/2007) By mike RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Hi Mike: I posted the recipe on here on 3/10/07. (making sure you know, I am not Son of Spatini, was just writing a reply to his posting on here). It does not taste exactly like Spatini, but it did create a flavorful sauce with some zest to it. I have also tried adding a slice of orange peel to the sauce (not zested up, just put as a slice in during cooking), to give the sauce a bit more zing. If you don't want to buy all of the individual italian seasonings, just buy them together as italian seasoning. Also, a bit of fresh parsley will freshen up the taste of dry seasonings. And, you may want to add a bit more onion powder and parmesian cheese after you have started cooking the sauce. (03/27/2007) By Greg RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce to greg: thank you, i did find the recipe. did you happen to call the 800 number for lawry's to complain? please have as many people as you can call them. thnx again......mike (03/28/2007) By mike RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce This is totally wrong. If anyone has the original recipe please e-mail it to me at billbro4U@verizon.net (03/29/2007) By Billbro4u RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Everyone be sure to sign the online petition that ThriftyFun has set up.

(04/10/2007) By Danny Schaffer RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I just spoke with a representative at Lawry's. They told me that their Lawry's Rich and Thick Spaghetti Sauce packet is the same as Spatini. I am going to try and find it at our local grocery stores to see if they carry this product. She said that it can be ordered online. Hope this helps. (04/16/2007) By Donna Opfer RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Just bring it back, I have been looking for the mix for the past 2 years. it's a shame something so good was taken off the market. BRING IT BACK AND ADVERTISE IT CORRECTLY, BECAUSE IF YOU DO IT RIGHT YOU GET A MARKET OF NEW COMERS TO THE TABLE!!! (04/16/2007) By kendall. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce That's the problem. Spatini was never marketed properly. It has never been prominently displayed on shelves and there are many times when I've had to spend time looking for it, even in our regular grocery store. Most people I talk to have never heard of it but once they try it, they're hooked and ask me where they can find it. Maybe if Unilever knew how to market something properly, we wouldn't have this problem. Editor's Note: Their contact form on their website is broken and has been since we started this campaign. If anyone calls them, tell them about the petition and all of the unhappy people who have posted. (04/16/2007) By Mike RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mom has used spatini for at least 50 yrs. If find it hard to believe that there was not enough demand for this product. If my mom has used it for 50+ years why take it away now. I would really really appreciate if you would return it to the shelf. And by the way it was hard to find on the shelf. Thank you (04/18/2007) By Millie RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I was astonished to find that Spatini has been discontinued. As all others, I Have been using this 30+ years. Everyone loves my spaghetti sauce. Now my Grandson will only eat spaghetti made with Spatini, but we will have to find something else to use for the sauce. This was really a great item too bad the company made a stupid mistake. That's corporate mentality for you! (04/22/2007) By PBetson RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Where has it gone???? I've been using Spatini in my spaghetti sauce for over 20 years. All of a sudden, it's gone. Please, please, please bring it back. I've checked with 6 grocers and they say, people are begging them to get it back but it has been discontinued. Lawry's, please bring it back by popular demand. (04/23/2007) By Janet Beley RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I have read all these wonderful pleas for spatini to come back. My babysitter has been cooking with spatini for as long as she can remember and she introduced it to me just a few months ago and i have been looking for it since. She is going to be so heartbroken when i tell her it was discontinued, but this will equal 2 more calls in to the Lawrys complaint center. Complain enough and we will get it back!

Give it try? (04/30/2007) By bruce entelisano. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce we need to let unilver we will boycott all therir products if they do not bring spatini back (05/01/2007) By jack RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I am very disappointed that I can no longer purchase Spatini spaghetti sauce mix (05/06/2007) By Kevin Lawrence RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce WHY.....WHY......WHY............I used to buy spatini every week just to stay stocked up with it. Now my supply has diminished and I am angry. Why has it been taken off the shelf is amazing to me. Instead of taking it off the shelf you need to fire someone in your promotions department, because it just take one tastes spatini spaghetti sauce and you have a customer for life. (05/07/2007) By Joe from Jersey RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I was shocked about Spatini.,...I called them and they said there was NO DEMAND for it so they quit it and replaced it with another product by Lawry....well me like a dummy bought it...well a word to the wise DO NOT BUY it...it is not the same in fact it is terrible...I want Spatini back....there is a DEMAND ... (05/10/2007) By Jane Mcgown. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I don't want to do not without Spatini. They have to bring it back. I don't know how they can say it didn't sell good. We have been using it for generations. (05/11/2007) By Loretta RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I agree that there is a demand. I want it back as well. Enough people buy it but I have never seen the product advertised. Why did they not try that? I do not want a substitute or a try for something else. I want spatini. (05/11/2007) By Maria RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I found a recipe in Reader's Digest Great Recipes for Great Health that tastes a lot like Spatini. 1/2 cup onion flakes (or 1/4 cup onion powder) 1/2 cup parsley flakes 2 tablespoons dried oregano, crumbled 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon each dried thyme and basil 2 teaspoons black pepper 2 teaspoons garlic flakes (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder) 4 large bay leaves, crumbled fine (it is a myth bay leaves are posionous -- one can also find bay leaf powder) (IMPORTANT: (You will need to add a tablespoon of Parmesian or Romano cheese for each four teaspoons of the mix AFTER you start cooking -- DO NOT ADD to the mix to store it)) A teaspoon you eat with is usually a real teaspoon... A tablespoon you eat with is 4 teaspoons (so if you measure with an eating tablespoon use one tablespoon plus a teaspoon), or to each 2 teaspoons if you grind the mix in a blender) (what is in parenthesis above is my added) Place all ingredients in a 1-pint jar, cover tightly and, shake well to mix. Store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 2 months. Makes 1 and 1/2 cups (of if you put it in a blender 3/4 cups) NOTE: This recipe has in it NO salt and less sugar than Spatini (you will need to add salt after you start cooking the sauce, if you like salt) I put this in a blender and added a bit more onion powder and it was a great substitute. After you start cooking the sauce, add about a tablespoon of onion flakes if you substitute the onion powder for onion flakes. Use 4 teaspoons of the mix for each 6 oz can of paste or 12 oz can of sauce OR If ground in blender; 2 teaspoons of the mix to each 6 oz can of paste or 12 oz can of sauce. And again, after you start cooking (or if making meatloaf, after you have added the spice to the meat) add 1 tablespoon of Parmesian or Romano cheese for each 4 teaspoons (or 2 teaspoons if you grind the mix in blender) and then salt to taste (and you may want to add a small bit more sugar (small bit). Greg (05/13/2007) By Greg RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I have considered contacting the Better Business Bureau and telling them that Lowry is passing of it's Lawry Mix as a substitute for a Spatini. Lawry has to know it's mix is not similar to Spatini. Perhaps Americans should boycott all Lawry products until they start conducting better business. We should use Lawry's bad sales attempt of pushing their Lawry Mix on us and their contempt for the people who have been cooking for with Spatini (a product on the market for 50 years) as an example of bad business practices. By Greg (05/13/2007) RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I got through to the Lawry's 800 number. While on the phone I asked for an address where I could send my written comments. The address is: Unilever Consumer Services 920 Sylvan Ave. 2nd Floor Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632 I sent in my complaint and told them that I for one am boycotting Unilever products (you'd be surprised what all they make) because of the loss of Spatini. Other may wish to do the same... I hope (05/16/2007) By Martin BRING BACK MY SPATINI The feedback should show the company that Spatini is in great demand, I was in 3 states trying to buy it. Why is it when you find something so good that they up and take it off the market? Shame on you! We still live in America! (05/20/2007) By Peggy Smith RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mother in law makes the best spaghetti. What did she make it with? Spatini of course. I searched at every grocery store in the area for spatini so she could make us spaghetti yesterday. Then I was told it was discontinued. the spaghetti just wasn't the same without the spatini. BRING BACK SPATINI PLEEEEEAAAAASSE!!!!! (05/21/2007) By erin RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I and my family have been using this for 3 generations. Soon my son would be using it. I can not tell you how upset we all are. We use this product 5 out of 7 days per wk. We are boycotting all of the products that we use from this company! Bring it back and soon or lose lots of customers. Then you will have to cancel all of your products! (05/22/2007) By Dana leonetti RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mother has been using Spatini since I was a baby. I'm so disappointed and upset about this. I just called them to make a complaint and the operator I talked said she was upset about it too since she also used it. She said that stores weren't taking enough demand for it so they stopped ordering it. She also said the only places that would have it now, if they have any, would be Big Lots or discount stores. I'm so annoyed that they would get rid of a product that my family has been using since before I was born. (05/23/2007) By Vanessa Hoke RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I am so disappointed to find out Spatini has been discontinued. I've been searching all the supermarkets in my area and just now decided to check it out on line. My spaghetti doesn't taste the same without it. Please bring it back!! (05/24/2007) By Dottie G.

My mother who has been gone for 40 years introduced me to Spatini. My sister, daughter and I used it in all kinds of recipes, not just for spaghetti. I guess the almighty dollar is more important than producing a quality product. (05/29/2007) By Bev E RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mom was using spatini. I grew up with this....it's so sad--I used to brag. Why get rid of a great product? I want spatini back...I haven't ate spaghetti ~ it's the only kind I like! It's like trying to change Coke! Bring it back! My whole family is hurting cuz of this! Care about the customers for a change! (05/29/2007) By WILLIAM BUDKA RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Used for 30 yrs. Sauce and meatballs don't taste to same - why discontinue - my spaghetti will never be the same - need the seasonings in spatini - please consider bring back! (06/10/2007) By Sandy Turner RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I am not a happy camper, I love Spatini like the rest I have grown up on this stuff. My whole family used this mix. Bring it back Now! my sauce will never be the same. Why did they discontinue it? (06/12/2007) By Carol RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Uggh, so that's why I can't find it anywhere! I have used McCormick's spaghetti sauce mix recently and it is similar. I made my sauce and meatballs for a recent Grad party to RAVE reviews once again. The McCormicks stuff is not easy to find, not every market in my area carries it. Giant Markets so far has been the only place I consistently purchase it at. (06/12/2007) By Barbara RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I am very sad that I can not find this sauce mix anywhere! I got hooked on it from my then to be mother-in-law and it was THE BEST! Now 17 years later I was still using it and even got my kids hooked on it, who are VERY picky about sauce, well picky in general. They refuse to use any other sauce because it isn't like Spatini. They love it because its plain and just has a great taste, as do I. PLEASE BRING IT BACK, ITS THE BEST! Please let me make my kids happy and me for that matter. (06/13/2007) By Missy Frindt RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I live in Central PA and the local grocery store here STILL carries Spatini!! Are you speaking of the stuff that comes in a little packet that you mix with your spaghetti sauce, or is this something else? The grocery store is called WEIS MARKETS, and I'm not sure where you all live that like Spatini, but I believe that Weis has stores in only a few states. (06/14/2007) By healthaidefrog1959 RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I miss using this in my sauce. Please let me know where I can purchase this. (06/14/2007) By margie RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce ICAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO FIND SPATINI IN THE LOCAL STORES AND THAT IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. WHY???? PLEASE BRING IT BACK. MY FAMILY GREW UP WITH IT AS I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR OVER 40 YEARS. (06/14/2007) By pennak4 RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I too am very disappointed to discover that Spatini has been discontinued! One of my husband's favorite dishes is Spatini and Spam on pasta. (Chop the Spam into half inch squares, fry, and add to sause. One can of Spam per packet of Spatini.) I have only two envelopes left! AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH! So, now is gone yet another of his favorites. And mine too! (06/14/2007) By Kimberly RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Please put spatini back on our store shelves. I have used it for 37 years. I have never made my spaghetti sauce without it. My family is very upset when I told them we will not be having homemade spaghetti sauce again. Please bring spatini back. Nothing else will ever compare to it. Why in the world would you discontinue a very good product lots of people buy. Please bring SPATINI back!!!! (06/15/2007) By Carol Very Disappointed I have also used Spatini for over 31 years and was absolutely crushed to find out that it had been discontinued. We live in Texas and would have it shipped by the case from relatives in PA . I used it in a wide varity of cooking and baking dishes. I'm am very disappointed (06/16/2007) By Lucille Keicer RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mom was also disappointed in the loss of her spatini and inquired at the grocery store as to where she could get some. They told her that Kraft had bought the company and she would have to go through them to complain. (06/18/2007) By j wilkinson RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Good heavens, Sunday afternoons will never be the same again.(quote)(/quote) (06/19/2007) By Peter Donnora RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mother has been using Spatini to make her spaghetti sauce forever!!!! Everyone in our family loves it and we miss it so much. Please bring Spatini back!!!!! (06/20/2007) By Julie Foard RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce My mother has been making Spatini spaghetti sauce my whole life, 30 something years! She passed the recipe down to me and now my wife loves it as much as I do. We had to have friends ship it to us here in the west (not available out here), then I found it on Amazon.com and bought it by the case. Now NO MORE SPATINI!?!?!? What will we do?? I just purchased several boxes on ebay at a much inflated price, but it will be well worth it to have Spatini a little while longer :( Just called the Lawry's number 1-800-896-9067 and cried on their shoulder, she said there are no plans to bring it back at this point. I guess all good things must come to an end.... (06/21/2007) By Mike RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce BRING IT BACK!!!! I WILL JUST DIE WITHOUT SPATINI... I MAKE SPAGHETTI SAUCE EVERY SUNDAY AND MY FAMILY WILL DISOWN ME. (06/24/2007) By MARYANN RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Good news for Spatini fans! I just posted my clone recipe for homemade Spatini -- it's this week's free recipe at http://www.topsecretrecipes.com Enjoy! (06/25/2007) By Todd Wilbur RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Top Secret Recipes analyzed and recreated the recipe. Try this link: http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/recipedetail.asp?id=511 (06/26/2007) By Lola RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I was so disappointed when I learned that Spatini is not being made anymore. I am 57 years old and my mother used it when I was a kid. And I have been using it over the past 37 years myself and my children have been using it the last few years in their recipes too. Help! What can we do? Is there anything out there that compares? No. I already know the answer. (06/28/2007) By BJ RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I tried lowerys dry sauce. They told another person that this tastes about the same as spatini. It DOES NOT TASTE LIKE SPATINI. PLEASE bring back spatini!!!!!!!! Its no way near the spatini taste. (07/03/2007) By Dave S. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce All I can say is FORGET Lawry's... We have used Spatini for years and now you pull the plug on it? I will never buy any of their products again... NONE of these other silly recipes are going to satisfy our hunger for the original product.. "Tastes Like" "Almost Like" ain't gonna cut it... (07/05/2007) By Stephen Pike RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce what happened to the sauce mix.. i used it all the time.. its just like it that when you have a good thing you lose it ..bring it back (07/07/2007) By james RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce What have you done? We have been using Spatini for years. Bring it back. Tell whoever is making it to continue on. Why let a good thing go. What are you nuts. Now what am I going to do? I demand that you bring it back. Pleaseeeeeeee! (07/09/2007) By Sharlene RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Yes, i have a recipe for Spatini,very easy actually and alot less expensive. (07/14/2007) By Dell. RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I have been using Spatini for over 20 years. My mother in law told me about it. My husband is really upset its the only thing we use to make spaghetti sauce for spaghetti and lasagna. We are now boycotting ALL of Lawry's products until Spatini is brought back. I wonder if anyone has send this link to Lawry's to let them know just how many customers they are losing (07/16/2007) By Ginger RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I just got off the phone with Lawrys. They say they don't plan on making spatini anymore, but they are taking peoples names and forwarding it to the marketing division. If enough of us call them we can try to get Spatini brought back. Its worth a try and it only takes a few moments to call them. Let them know you wont purchase any Lawrys products unless they bring back Spatini. Here is the number you can call. 1-800-745-9232 (07/16/2007) By Ginger RE: Spatini Spaghetti Sauce I'm very angry. I live for spatini! I have not made any Italian recepies since this was discontinued. I planed on opening a restaur
