Excellent sauce! I substituted diced fresh Roma tomatoes for the canned version. I also suggest using basil in place of the ground cloves during the summer. - Richard

Excellent; I comined this delicious sounding recipe w/Jeremy's recipe for "Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs" since they sounded almost identical. The difference is where I added the extra items from this recipe-- like celery, bell pepper, xtra onion. The only things I changed are: (1) an extra can of diced tomatoes-- it looked like too little sauce for all the xtra meatballs I accidentally made; (2) I only used ground beef b/c that is all I had on hand; (3) I used less garlic (b/c the only reviewer here said everythng tasted like garlic- so being cautious); (4) I used less sugar (just a little over 1/2 tsp sugar); (5) I added xtra stuff to the sauce at the "sautee" stage: 1/2 jalepeno pepper diced, whole small red pepper diced, small can of sliced mushrooms; (6) I omitted the milk in the meatballs b/c it sounded weird; but may try it next time. Overall, excellent recipe; fairly easy to make-- this is my first time making spaghetti from scratch since junior high!

Unless you like the taste of cloves then you may not like this. The cloves took over all of the flavor. I had one person taste it who did like it this way. The meatballs, were excellent! I made them w/1 lb of deer meat and 1/2 lb of beef. You couldn't tell that it was deer. So, I made my regular sauce and used the meatballs in it. I also chose to bake them first, (after frying) for 1/2 hr. at 325 degrees to be sure they were cooked through.
