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.

    You have a hit on your hands with this recipe. I made it as directed but cooked it in my crockpot on low for 8 hours. Served it with side salad and Texas Garlic Toast. Anything with black olives in it my children will love. LOKL

    Excellent Spaghetti sauce!! I've made this sauce a couple of times now and every time I make it I'm always amazed at how great it tastes! Some times I'll add some vegatbles to the recipe (carrots, zucini, etc so that if I'm too tired to fix a salad I still feel like I'm getting some vegies.

    Amazing! I ended up freezing alot of this into small freezer bags. We pull one out once a week and it's enough to feed 2 adults and one 1.5 year old. I didnt add sausage, because I cant stand it, so I just substituted more beef. It was fantastic again! I loved the smell in my home. My mouth was waterfing the whole time this was simmering lol.

    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

    My family and I enjoyed your spaghetti sauce very much. For me, it is essential to have a mixture of ground beef and Italian sausage in the meat sauce. Using my hands, I crushed the whole tomatoes as I added them in and only used the juice of 1 can of the whole tomatoes because I like a thick sauce. The seasonings were just right. This makes a ton and I had plenty of hungry mouths to feed. Thanks for sharing a great recipe

    This was delicious!!! Had my daughter over last night for supper, she was sooo dissapointed when she found out it wasn't "my" spaghetti....until she ate this recipe. She loved it!!! I was skeptical about the amount of tomatoes but it really tastes like authentic italian sauce. I followed the recipe as written with the exception of forgetting the parsely, didn't miss it. Thanks for a real keeper!!
