This recipe goes back a long time ---If you want a creamy sauce just add in 2-4 tablespoons cup whipping cream towards the end of cooking and heat through --- I strongly suggest to make this sauce a day ahead or even two days ahead as the flavors with blend and intensify, just rewarm on top of the stove over low heat, this sauce may be doubled if desired but keep the ground beef amout at one pound, this also freezes well... you will love this!

I didn't use the red pepper flakes as we don't like them here. We found the sauce too sweet using 3 tsp. of sugar also. I don't know what all the hype is about this sauce. Real Italian sauce isn't even supposed to have oregano in it. Oregano is for pizza sauce. I had to add more wine, about 1 c. during the cooking time, as I cooked mine longer than the 2 hrs. to thicken it up some, as it was too thin for us. We like thick meaty sauce. It was good, but not the best flavored sauce I have ever tasted.

    We loved this ! This is different than other pasta sauces I have tried. It has a little bit of a bite to it. Others I use have a sweeter taste. What a wonderful change of pace. Thanx Kittencal for another fantastic recipe, didn't change a thing, as there is never a need to with your recipes girl !

    I have tried serval spaghetti sauces on this site, even Jo mamas world famous. None of them even compair to this recipe. My step son droped by the nite I was cooking it, he hates spaghetti. I got him to try it and he ate 2 serving.He loved it. I did add some parsley, but only change. I will never use any other sauce. Thank you so much, Kittencal I finally have my only speg sauce.
