what a meal! this was fabulous, especially the next day when all the flavors blended. i used veal chops, country style boneless spare ribs, both hot and sweet sausages. i added extra basil, oregano, parsley, and had to switch pots, my 8 quart was overflowing. i tansfered this to a 12 q pot, added the meatballs, and it simmered just fine. this is a keeper!

My husband loved this, me less. It is completely different from any other spaghetti sauce I have ever had. These isn't really a tomato taste to it, more the meat flavor that comes through. The recipe made a lot, and I froze at least half, so we will be eating it for awhile! For a really big group!

Made this yesterday for dinner, I used country style ribs, veal chops, sweet sausage, and used ground round and more sweet sausage for the meatballs. Followed the recipe exactly, next time will use an entire can of tomato paste(4oz.) and will leave the cover off the pan totally to thicken it more(just a family preference). Otherwise, very good sauce and meat.

I think my BF is in love - but not with me He could barely speak he was so thrilled with this recipe!!! Took half the afternoon to put together, but soooo worth it!!!!! Followed the recipe almost exactly (didn't have italian tomatoes, so used the canned ones I had and added italian seasonings to them) Lots of leftovers in the fridge too!! Gonna use the extra meat to put a cannelloni soup together later this week!

This is VERY close to the gravy my mother has always made, people always ask for my mother's recipe but there is none, she learned from watching her mother and I learned from watching her. NOW I have this recipe to pass onto people. Made this for dinner tonight and no one realized it wasn't my usual gravy.

This was great. I am not Italian but have many Italian friends and have been trying to find a good gravy recipe. This is it. Changed it up a little. Didn't toss out the garlic and added onions. Deglazed with a little wine. Blended it all with the stick blender.

Excellent! Meat was delicious but I would liked to have added at least 4 cans of tomatoes so as to have more sauce but my pot was not large enough. Thanks for posting!
