Great simple sauce. Full of flavor. Try adding 1 tbsp. sugar, but make sure to stir often so it doesn't burn at the bottom.

I thought the recipe was only fair. It was quite bland for my tastebuds and required a lot more seasonings. I also thought it had too much tomato paste. If I make it again I will use 1/2 the tomato paste, and more seasonings.

I followed this direction exactly as directed and was disappointed. I ended up throwing the sauce out. It was bland and tasted like canned tomatoes. I probably could have saved it with additional spices - but didn't have time before the dinner party to continue to experiment.

I was disappointed with this sauce. My boyfriend and I didn't think it tasted any different than jar sauce. The only difference was that it was sweeter due to the sugar. I followed the recipe and cooked it all day and let it sit overnight. I started it on the stove and then put it in the crockpot on low for the rest of the duration. The only thing I did differnet was add more basil, garlic and other seasonings which we couldn't taste anyway. I also changed the serving size. The flavor was just "alright". After reading all the reviews I thought it would be great. My co-worker tasted the sauce and said the same thing..it's not spectacular. It's alright. I've made worse and I've also made better. I won't make this again. Very disappointing. Sorry!

I made this at the Firehouse for the men and they all loved it. The only thing i changed was that i put raw meatballs and sausage in it and let it cook 5 hours. This is a deffinate keeper. Thanks

I used a crock pot to cook, so I didn't have to worry about it. I sauted onions & garlic and added red wine to suated onion & garlic, let it cook a couple of minutes then added it to the crock pot. I left out he mushroom and basil, because I wanted a neutral sauce ( I added seafood at the end for a seafood marinara) I also threw in a bay leaf. The slow cooking definitely made this sauce.

Best spaghetti sauce I ever ate. It took some time, but it was worth it. My family couldn't get enough.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I liked how much better it tasted the next day. I will make again.

I've been making this recipe for a year now. I'll never buy a jar of sauce again.

Barb, This is the first time i have ever made homemade spaghetti sauce and this turned out the BEST!!! I added one green pepper to the recipe and everyone LOVED it!! Thank-you, Thank-you for sharing such a great recipe with all!!!

Didn't even get one compliment on Mother's Day for this sauce. OUCH!

The Best!!! I've tried different receipes for a good spaghetti sauce but this was the best. I did add 1 heaping tsp. of Italian Seasoning for an extra zip which I don't think it helped that much but the 4hrs were worth it. Thank-you!! My family loved it as much as I did.

Very thick, husband is picky when it comes to spag. sauce. Usually likes meat in it and lots of veggies. He liked this one and said it was a keeper!!

Absolutely one of the best spaghetti sauces we've add. I just added a little Italian seasoning for additional spiciness, other than that - perfect! Thanks.

Be forwarned this recipe takes a lot of time to make and it will help you stock up on a freezer full of sauce. However, the resulting sauce is good. I read that some reviewers disliked the slightly sweet taste of the sauce, but this did not bother me ,in fact, I liked it. This was a nice "first sauce" recipe for me and I suggest you try it.

This sauce rates close to my own that has come down through the generations from my Sicilian and calabrian ancestry, I jus don't measue and it is hard to share the recipe with friends , when I say a handful , a pinch or about. The recipe is wonderful. I do use some port wine in the place of the sugar and Olive oil. Thank you
