Not a bad sauce. It is very acidic if you follow the recipe exactly. I doubled the recipe to 12 servings, and followed it exactly except for one thing - I used roughly half the amount of tomato sauce. A total of 32 ounces and no more. This alleviates the acidity of the sauce significantly.

This is so delicious! I made a couple changes. I used sweet italian turkey sausage, 1/2 tsp italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp basil and 1/2 tsp oregano and added some dried crushed red pepper. My husband loved it too. Will make over and over.

I made it by the directions and it is just alittle bit to much acid for my stomach. I really didnt like it. It looked great and it didnt smell bad but just didnt like the taste.

Everyone loves this recipe. I use it exactly as shown, but use the italian diced tomatoes with spices. I also use a crock pot and cook for 4 - 6 hours and it turns out absolutely fabulous!

I followed this recipe to the tee and still found it to be too acidic for my taste. I'll try to add some vinegar next time to contrast the acidity

This was okay, but not the wonderful sause I was expecting. The more I try to add to it to fix it, the worse it becomes. I tried adding fresh basil, brown sugar, garlic powder, parsley....it just isn't very good. Sorry.

Very good restaurant quality spaghetti sauce! I used no salt added tomatoes and 32 oz of tomato sauce (4 8 oz cans) and did not add additional salt. Served over spaghetti instead of mixing it in. I simmered the sauce for a couple of hours and the recipe made 5 cups of sauce. This is now my go to spaghetti sauce recipe! I think next time I'll add in some mushrooms (just because we love them, it is perfect as is).

Delicious! This was a huge hit with my family. I followed the recipe exactly except I used a whole pound of sausage since that was what the package was.

We made this spaghetti recipe today and it was absolutely delish! We did change a few things, we used a whole pound of sausage and a pound of ground turkey. I also added a 1/2 tsp of garlic salt. It made about 7 servings. Next time I'll probably add some mushrooms. I saw several people who said that it didn't make enough sauce. I didn't let mine simmer all day, (really only about 25 min or so) and it made a generous amount. Enjoy!

My family loved, loved, loved this recipe!!! I made a few changes I decide to go with 1 lb of sausage we are meat lovers. I also added liquid basil at the end instead of dried. Which was perfect! I let it simmer for an 1hr 30min. The cans of tomatoes were italian flavored. The tomato sauce was Newmans Own tomato and basil sauce. *Important* DO NOT ADD SALT! THIS RECIPE ENDS UP VERY SALTY ON ITS OWN. I think next time I cook this I will add sugar like others have mentioned they did. This recipe is going in our family box.
