Took too much time and effort to render this recipe into something my family would call 'spaghetti sauce.' It gets a star for 1) being edible 2) using ingredients I had. My final version turned out good; I employed my stick blender to smooth out about 80% of the vegetation. I had to add more tomato product and a ton of spices (handfuls of dried spices). Other than using up some squash I didn't want going to waste, this recipe was not worth the 6 hours invested.

This was really yummy! I added more meat than the recipe called for so I needed to add some more tomato sauce.

This was exactly what I needed. My mom used to make great spaghetti sauce in a crock pot, and I needed to know the basics to make a good sauce from scratch. This was fantastic! Tweak it and have fun with it, the basic seasonings and overall ingredients are a great start. I used less squash, added zucchini and olives and carrots. Mom's can't touch this!

Wonderful! We made several batches and froze. We will make even more sauce this year because we absolutely love this recipe.

Overall a good recipe but a bit bland, I added a few red pepper flakes but it still needed something more...I also used mushrooms instead of squash...I will make this again but will add some spice with kick to it.

Considering the time this recipe takes to make, and the outcome (more like goulash and not quite spicy enough), I wouldn't make it again. Not bad, just not what I had expected.

So much work. So not worth it. Spaghetti Sauce should have some spice to it, this did not. Very disappointed.

This recipe really exceeded my expectations. The flavor is great and my husband didn't notice the squash at all! (He HATES squash) I scaled the recipe for 6 servings with no problem & used zucchini instead of yellow squash. I also substituted turkey sausage that I had on hand for the kielbasa. It's a flexible recipe that you can make hours ahead, try it!

This is terrific. I made a vegetarian version and used it for Chicken Parmigiana last week and Stuffed Shells this week. It also freezes beautifully. Thanks, Jeanne! I owe you one.
