I have been playing with this sauce for a while. So far I have had some mixed reviews. Some say it is really good, others don't like it. I have tried changing several things like using garlic powder instead of cloves to try to intensify the garlic flavor. I even omitted the wine once. There doesn't seem to be enough salt in this recipe. Although it is far better then any sauce in a jar, it could be better. I'll try to work on it more and report later. The amount of sauce it produces is good because you can freeze it and it will last a while. Also, it is a good sauce for making lasagna

    I was disappointed with this sauce, it was just bland. I left out the sausage but increased the herbs and wine, and still just okay. I will not make this again.

    This has to be the best sauce I've ever tried! I was looking for a new recipe (I grew up on Ragu but my husband is italian) for my family and this is it!!!! I did change a few things though-I omitted the olives and added 3/4 cup red wine, 2 tsp thyme, 2 tsp. sugar, 2 tsp salt, 2 bay leaves and I added 1/2 cup parmesan and it was insane!!!!! This sure is good as gold and thanks for a wonderful recipe that I'll use forever!

    This is truly an awesome spaghetti sauce. I have found only one thing that i changed, 2 8 ounce cans of olives is way too much, also the red peper flakes make it pretty hot. This is a great sauce to make in a slow cooker.
