I made this recipe with fresh tomatoes and tomato sauce b/c that's what I had - it was AMAZING! My kids kept walking by and eating a spoonful of it. So good! I actually quadrupled it twice and froze several batches - can't wait to try it in different Italian dishes.

I agree about the water issue. Don't add any water at all and this recipe is fantastic.

This sauce is excellent - reduced the water by 1/2 and increased tomato sauce

This recipe was horrible i'm glad that i was smart enough to not add all the water. But i'm thankful my children had nothing to complain about, they will eat anything.

This is a very watery Spaghetti Sauce recipe. I also prefer my sauce a little sweeter. I don't think I'll make this one again, unless I make some adjustments to the recipe listed.. Wish someone would correct/change the amount of water for this recipe for the sake of others making this in the future.

Amazing...I only tweeked a little to make it spicer and I did add fresh oregano. Great recipe!!! I used San Marzano Tomatoes (D.O.P. certified)....made the difference!

I must say this is an excellent recipe. I added ground pork and ground beef to the sauce and I found it a bit too watery, so I will likely only use 4 cups of water next time.

This is a really good recipe. I used 1 1/4 cup of water instead of 7, because it's a ridiculous amount. Also I added 1/2 cup of Prego Roast garlic and herbs, cumin, oregano and a tbs of butter. I skipped the wine because I didn't had any and it was fantastic!

I tweaked because I used what I had on hand. WONDERFUL SAUCE!! My husband and I both agreed it was our favorite: 1 chopped onion cooked til transparent, 4-5 cloved garlic chopped, 2-15 oz. cans petit diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil added, 1-15 oz. can tomato sauce, 1 Tblsp. olive oil, 1 1/2 Tblsp. sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. course black pepper, 3 heaping Tblsp. Italian seasoning, 2 heaping Tblsp. basil. I had NO red pepper and NO wine, and I added NO water. That's what I had on hand and it was GREAT!
