This was very good, pretty similar to how I make my spaghetti sauce. Of course I added seasoning to taste but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out very tasty. My family loves spaghetti and I use several different sauces but I will surely use this one often.

I have been making this for a few years...the problem is that we like it so much more than store bought sauce (but I don't always have the extra time to make it). It does make a lot (for the two of us), so I half the recipe. YUM!

This was good, but I thought a little bland. If I make it again, I might kick it up by adding more spice, and maybe use 1/2 turkey and 1/2 sausage. My guest liked it very much, so it must be good!

After I cooked the meat mixture, I threw that into a slow cooker w/ all the sauces and just cooked it that way. I like that, because then it's just ready whenever I'm ready to eat. My husband and I really liked this. It was really nice, and easy and had a really nice flavor. I added just a larger quantity of the spices and garlic and also some red pepper flakes and a hint of tabasco. Very good! Thanks for sharing!

This came out great! I omitted the mushrooms (kids don't like them) and ground turkey (because I made meatballs). I doubled the ingredients except gr. pepper, and also added extra oregano and basil. I added 3 bay leaves and 1/4 cup of sugar (helps reduce the acidity of the tomato sauce). Let sit on low heat for quite awhile. Then I added a little water toward the end. AWESOME!

Pretty good! I added a lot more basil and oregano, plus 2 bay leaves. I cooked it a lot longer, too and didn't use meat. Probably won't be my go to sauce recipe because it didn't wow me, but still good!

I loved this recipe. Perfect amount of meatiness. I did add more oregano and basil. I used ground beef. My sauce came out a little watery, probably because I didn't drain my meat :). Or it may have been from the juice in the stewed tomatos?? I like my sauce a bit on the thinner side anyways. I don't know if it was suppose to turn out like that, but it was delicious none the less! Thanks for the recipe Frank!

I gave it a four star because I followed other's advice by using a teaspoon of each basil, oregano, and italian seasoning. I also used the Italian style of stewed tomatoes. Other than than those changes, it is awesome! I now use this as my go to Marinara sauce. Thanks!

It was alright but I don't think I'll be making it again. It just wasn't my taste.

This was pretty good once I added more garlic and some salt. Of course, that was my personal preference. Someone else may find that they don't like the added garlic and salt. The good thing is you can continue to add things while it's simmering. I think next time I may add a little cayenne pepper for a more bold flavor. I also didn't try adding any parmesan cheese, but I may add a little next time. I really liked the veggies in this spaghetti. I used diced tomatoes instead of stewed tomatoes, but that was due to a grocery shopping mistake :) It works just as well. Definitely try this recipe!

I thought this sauce was great! And that's coming from a 100% italian girl whose mom makes awesome sauce! The best part it is, its not an all day affair...quick and easy but tastes like it cooked all day!

I love this spaghetti sauce and have used it time and time again. The only thing I do different is add a yellow squash and crushed red pepper because my boyfriend likes spicy food

Bland and tasted too strongly of tomato paste. Oregano and basil did not help matters. Was not as meaty as the description suggested.
