I don't know if I did something wrong but I only put in 2oz of red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and it was really acidic (eyes watered as I leant over it on the stove). I added 1 tsp of sugar but just couldn't shake the acidity. My kids (aged 4 & 6) wouldn't eat it. WHOOPS! I just worked out where I went wrong - it is red wine NOT red wine vinegar. Will try again and this time try to make it to the recipe!!!

A very nice sauce. I browned Italian turkey sausage in a seperate pan. I then followed the rest of the recipe but only used 1/2 c. wine because there seemed to be quite a bit of liquid in the sauce already. I agree with the other posts that it needed just a touch of something else... so I added a pinch each of sugar and red pepper flakes. It turned out to be so delicious. Thanks for a great recipe. What a treat!

This is delicious! I made it with the ingredients called for including a large pinch of caraway seeds. I did modify the prep: open sausage casings and sauté in a skillet; add the onions after about 8 minutes and the garlic the last minute or two; add rest of ingredients. Discovered my can of tomatoes was tomato sauce so I chopped and added three medium/small tomatoes instead. After simmering 20 minutes, removed cover to reduce somewhat (fresh tomatoes are watery) for 10 minutes while the pasta cooked. I used good quality balsamic vinegar and wine. Served with freshly grated Romano cheese. And the rest of the red wine! This is the first recipe I added to "My Favorites" cookbook.

Loved this dish, Maine-iac. I was about 4 oz short of a pound of italian sausage, so I also added some chicken breast chunks. Used a 15-oz can of tomatoes, and actually used white rather than red wine because I discovered I didn't have an open bottle of red. Tasty meal over thick spaghetti with garlic bread.
