I have searched for sauce recipes for years, and thought the more complex the better it must be - but this is it, this is MY #1 recipe now - thanks for sharing it.

This is a good basic recipe for spaghetti sauce, but there is way too much sugar. I would maybe just put a couple of teaspoons in to take away the acidic taste of the tomatoes.

Good, but I made several changes. I used italian sausage instead of ground beef, only used about a tablespoon of butter and about half as much sugar as called for. Was still a bit too sweet, but not bad. I'll use it again, but with even less sugar.

As presented, I rate this a 4 star. I made the following changes and this came out awesome - used ground turkey; did not use butter nor sugar; used crushed tomatoes; and lots of Italian Seasoning spices. Thanks for getting me off to a start.

I'm not sure what was wrong with the recipe, but it just didn't taste good at all. I'm thinking the butter was a bad idea.

This was real simple and real good! My husband was impressed with it, he said it def tastes better then jar sauce. I added minced garlic instead of the powder

Delicious and quick; this was a hit with my kids. I used minced garlic and just a tablespoon of sugar, following the advice of some of the other reviwers, and substituted frozen meatballs for the ground beef. I always imagined that homemade sauce would be a challenge but this was so easy that I'll use this in place of the jarred sauce in the future. Thanks!

I used sweet Italian sausage instead of ground beef. I also cut the sugar in half per other reviews. It turned out great!!

This recipe is sooooo good. I usually add a bay leaf and simmer for an hour or more. Absolutely delicious.

Very good thanks! I only used about a tbs of sugar per some reviewers' suggestions; was afraid it would be too sweet, as I find most commercial sauces to be. I also didn't have all the herbs so I used a tbs of Italian seasoning instead. And I added two tbs of Parmesan cheese because I like that in everything. Came out wonderfully homemade-tasting. Who needs jarred sauces? Thanks!

This recipes was wonderful! It was so easy to make and it turned out very tasty. I didn't have enough tomato sauce so I substituted some crushed tomatoes along with the sauce and it still turned out really well. This is definitely going in my recipe book!

I followed the recipe exactly and it was too sweet to eat. It is a decent base recipe for sauce but with a 1/4 cup of sugar it was inedible.

This was wonderful!! My family enjoyed it!! I used brown sugar instead of white which cut back on the acid!! I doubled the ground beef because my husband likes it very meaty and i added tomato paste, mushrooms and stewed tomatoes. Instead of a pinch of garlic, I used minced garlic!! I will make again...thanks!!

Definitely deserve 5 stars for how quick it is to prepare! This recipe is perfect when you don't have time to let your sauce simmer during hours. I added celery and zucchini but I think you can add any vegetables you have left in your fridge. Next time, I think I'll half the butter.
