I loved this recipe! It was very easy and Very good. I was worried that the meatballs wouldn't be cooked all the way so I popped them in the oven for about 5 minutes before I added them to the sauce. I didn't have time to let it simmer for very long but it was still wonderful!

Absolutely delicious! I'll never try another recipe after this one. The first time I made this dish I used 1 lb. of ground beef, but the meatballs were very bland and didn't cook all the way in the sauce as the recipe calls for. The second time I followed the advice of others and used 1/2 lb. of beef, a little more than 1/2 lb. of italian sausage, and I fried them for about 10 minutes before adding them to the sauce. What a difference! They were phenomenal! Also, I'm not sure how much of a difference this made, but I used fresh herbs instead of dried.

Together this combination is 5 stars. Separate, I would rate the sauce 5 stars and the meatballs only 3 or 4. But when you put the two together, you've got delicious.

This is fantastic! I used this for my first time making homemade sauce and it was so yummy! I cooked the meatballs separately because I wanted to make sure I liked the sauce flavor by itself. Instead of the whole peeled tomatoes, I used 5 garden tomatoes and a can of diced tomatoes (for 6 servings).

didn't care for the sugar, it made the sauce too sweet, but that's personal preference. First time I made homemade sauce...was a success!

Awesome recipe. I did not have the peeled tomatoes and used Italian Sauce instead and it was Fab-ulous. I am Italian and used to home made cooking from Mama and this is pretty close. Excellent recipe and easy to make!

Fabulous! I will admit a change or two... First of all for the sauce, I used 3 cloves of garlic and will next time use more like 1 1/2... next, I changed the tomatoes around some. I used a 28 oz can of Tomatoes (ended up chopping them up - could've used diced) and a 28 oz can of tomato sauce - I left out the sugar and bay leaf totally (too sweet for me). For the meatballs, I used 1 1/2 #'s of a meatloaf mix of ground beef, ground veal and ground pork. I used Ritz crackers (3/4 cup) instead of bread crumbs and about 1/3 pkg of Lipton Onion Soup Mix ~ no garlic powder needed. I cooked the sauce at 2 hours, then added the meatballs and 6 oz can of tomato paste, 12 oz tomato sauce and black pepper. The meatballs cooked about another 1 1/2 hours or a little more... Served over the little pasta 'nests', spinach w/cucumber and tomato salad and fresh Italian bread. Served with a Sterling 2002 Merlot... absolutely magnificant!!! Spectcular Dinner... with a simple modification to this recipe... can't wait to taste the leftovers... OMG - the best I've ever made

The sauce gets 5 stars. The meatballs were a little bland, will add more seasoning next time and use fresh garlic instead of powder. No more store bought sauce for this house!

My husband LOVED this recipe. He made a point to tell me to save it. The only issue I had is that you need to put it through a blender at some point and also the meatballs fell apart in the sauce while cooking. They did cook all the way through though, which was doubted by some people. Next time I may saute them a little first.

This was a very easy and very good recipe. My husband doesn't like any spaghetti sauce other than Ragu...he actually liked this! I made the following changes...substituted ground bison for the beef, used 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup oatmeal for the meatballs. For the sauce I used diced tomatoes seasoned with basil, oregano, and garlic (Red Gold). Great recipe!

I made a couple chages to this recipe after tasting it an hour into simmering. I thought it was tasting way too tomatoey so I added 2 TBLS brown sugar and 2 tsp itailan style seasoning. That did the trick. So the changes I made from the beginning were: I used brown surgar instead of white. I pureed the tomatoes, I didn't have tomatoe paste so I used an 8 oz can of roasted garlic tomatoe sauce and 3 TBLS of oats that I blended with the tomatoes to thicken the sauce. I followed the meatballs exactly and they had such a great aroma but kind of lacked in taste. I will play around with more spices the next time I make this. As written this recipe is a 3 or 4, with the changes I made I would give it 5 stars.

I sort of used this recipe as a base for meatballs. So, I can only rate the meatballs. I followed the recipe, but did bake the meatballs in the oven and then added them to my own sauce. Tasty!

FINALLY had a chance to make the sauce an use my previously frozen meatballs!!! [[half day at school..]] I can’t believe first first of all the ¼ cup of oil. Ohh no no no no no!!! When it was simmering, oil kept coming on the spatula and sitting up on top. Ugghh. My dad noticed an did not have seconds. As far as following the recipe goes, I used w/e ever cans of tomatoes I had to equal the amount an next time will def. Not use whole..too chunky. I was also very liberal with the spices/herbs. When I added the meatballs, they were quick to soften an quite a few lost their roundness making for a really meaty sauce. But- they were deelicious =) ***Mseatballs were made with seasoned Panko bread crumbs an mozz. cheese to sub. and sized like a golf ball.

A keeper. Cooking the meatballs in the sauce is a huge time saver. The sauce fills the house with the best aroma, and the final product is delicious.

Delicious though I had to modify it at the last minute when I realized my canned tomatoes and paste were expired! Used mostly tomato sauce + 1 14oz can of whole peeled tomatoes.
