I ran out of spaghetti seasoning mix and decided to try this one. I didn't have "sweet" pepper flakes, so I used red pepper flakes instead. I would caution if you make this substitution, only use 1 Tbsp. at the most, as it adds a lot of spice! (luckily my husband likes a little spice) However, I really liked the flavor and fully intend to use this again... I may even try to find actual sweet pepper flakes.

First time I ever tried making spaghetti sauce. Made it exactly as directed and it was flawless! This was so easy and tasted much better than canned or jarred spaghetti sauce. I am making it for dinner tomorrow night AGAIN! Everyone ate seconds of spaghetti. Grear recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Really convenient and flavorful. I added 1 tsp more salt and Italian seasoning but overall very good. This would make a great Christmas gift packaged in a jar with a basket filled with the seasoning, tomato paste, and uncooked spaghetti. I know I would appreciate a gift like that. Like someone said earlier, it's perfect for those evenings when you're short on time and energy.

This made the best spaghetti dinner ever. Rich and saucy with a very robust flavor. The best part ~ no puddle of tomato-y liquid pooling under the noodles. I made the recipe as written, but used slightly less water when it came to following the directions for making the sauce. This will be my go to recipe from now on.

Loved this simple recipe for something a little more home made than canned/jarred sauce, plus cheaper. I can customize it with as much or little spice as I want. I made my first batch as written above except all I had were red pepper flakes, not sweet pepper flakes.. FYI: I only used about half of what the recipe calls for in red pepper flakes.. it still made it a little more spicy than I'm used to so if you don't have sweet pepper and have to use red pepper, use only a small amount unless you really want it spicy! I also did not have minced onion so I added about maybe a tsp of onion powder and some Tastefully Simple brand Onion Onion. It didn't amount to 1/4 cup worth combined but I was afraid to make it too overpowering since Onion Onion can get strong if you use too much. It probably amounted to about 1/8cup total int hat region. I still used 1/4 cup of the final product to make the sauce and it turned out just fine! I'll tweak it around to my own liking a little more next time now that I know what the final product is like.

Used 1tsp each sugar and salt and no sweet pepper flakes (didn't have any). Used the Italian Dressing Mix (from this site) for the Italian seasoning. Everything else the same. Used it to make the "Cola Pot Roast 1" from this site. Can't wait to try it in spaghetti.

The base of this recipe was pretty good. I couldn't find sweet pepper flakes but substituted red pepper flakes as most people suggested. It was so spicy. I will make this again but will probably just cut out the red pepper flakes or seriously cut down on them.

Having this easy dry mix on hand is great for those nights when you don't have the time or just "don't feel" like cooking! It is also perfect for those travel weekends at a cabin or cottage when you want to "pack light". I added crushed red pepper flakes in place of the sweet pepper and about half of the sugar and salt (more can be easily added to taste as the mixture is simmering). Also, I use small amts of red wine to make thesauce richer and cut the bitterness of the tomato paste. It thickened up nicely and I will definitely use this recipe again! Can't wait to try it for pizza sauce!
