Yummy recipe! The whole family enjoyed, even my 4 year old. I only used 1 onion, 1 bell pepper and added 1 (14.5 oz) can of tomato sauce and 2 bay leaves.

This is an awesome recipe. I only made a few changes due to what I had on hand. I used 1 regular size can of diced tomatoes with garlic and oregano, 2 regular size cans of tomato sauce and 1 regular size can of tomato paste. Everyone raved about it! I made it up on a Saturday night, put in the fridge and then put it in the crock pot before going to church. Excellent!

A little bland. I used 1.5 tbs of sugar and really liked the sweetness, but my husband said he could do without it. I had to add more basil and oregano, also added some red pepper flakes. I loath bell peppers so used mushrooms and turkey instead of beef. Next time I will only use 1/2-1 tbs of sugar and add more garlic. After the additions, the sauce turned out very amazing.

This is the best sauce I've ever made. My husband always tells me my sauce tastes like compared to his mothers. When I made this he said "Wow! This is just as good if not better than Mom's!" So, I will use this over and over. I'm making for the 2nd time right now, didnt have any stewed tomatoes so I'm using two cans of chopped, I blended one and kept the other the way it was out of the can, I think the little pieces of tomato add a dimension to the sauce. Thanks for this recipe, it's so wonderful!

A really good sauce. Our family thought it was a little too sweet, so I will decrease the sugar next time.

I made this sauce exactly as called for, except leaving out bell peppers and substituting mushrooms (personal preference). It was outstanding. Perfect consistency (doesn't need any tomator paste) and blend of flavors.

This was pretty good and my family loved it. I didn't add green peppers and I only used one onion. Next time I will use a little more salt and I might try a little red pepper flakes for a kick. This is a good basic recipe that can be easily tweaked to your families taste.

This recipe is simple and delicious for a good basic pasta sauce. I have been buying Newman's own for years because my husband thought it tasted just as good as home made. When I made this sauce last night he said it was better than out of a jar! Trust me, that is high praise!

The Best !! The taste is just how I remember my Italian grandmother's spaghetti sauce. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe -- it is the one and only I will make for years to come.
