This was good to make for a quick 30 minute sauce. I scaled this recipe down to 8 servings, used ground sage sausage and pureed my tomatoes (daughter doesn't like them). I like adding a bay leaf for additional flavor too.

I have been with this site for two years now and NEVER have I felt compelled to give a recipe a bad review. I'm very sorry for having to do that now,... DO NOT follow this recipe exactly and be ready to do many changes! Way too much onions and garlic! I'm really happy I altered it and did not lose my ingredients!

This sauce is great. I added some mushrooms and a cup of canned tomato sauce instead of water. Turned out great!

Almost perfect! I halved the recipe but put a whole can of paste and about 3-4 tablespoons of oil. I think there is too much garlic (and I love garlic) and too much onion. In my half a recipe I would use only a quarter to half an onion and maybe 3-4 cloves of garlic. It was delicious anyway.

I used this sauce recipe for my lasagna so I modified a little bit because I wanted it really thick. One of my cans of tomato sauce was also the kind with garlic and basil already added in and for the thickness I didn't add the water. Added more oregeno to it too but otherwise it was one of the best sauces I made as my family usually likes Prego.

This sauce had too much acid in it. It gave my husband and I heartburn. I wanted to try something different than my own sauce, so I gave this a shot. If you have acid reflux, put tb sugar or stick a carrot in to absorb some of the acid. Sorry for the bad review.

Very thin sauce and just wasn't to my families taste. In our opinion - too salty, too runny and lacked depth of flavor. Possible some more spices and only puree and not the actual diced tomatoes? Hey, just one person's review - thanks for sharing.

Made this while pregnant, froze it into serving-size portions, and have had MANY quick pasta dishes that taste like I simmered the sauce all day! YUM!

Great recipe! I didn't use the onion and instead of the tomato paste/tomatoes/water I used 2 jars of tomato sauce. The sausage, basil, and garlic really play well together. YUMMY

Nice pasta dish but way too much oil. I sauted my onion, garlic and one finely grated carrot (anyway to get extra nutrition into my finicky boys) in about 2 tbsps. of oil and 1 tbsp. of butter. I also added 2 tsp. each of oregano and thyme and 1/3 c. of half and half for a sligtly rose type sauce.

This was excellent! My husband was asking me to make something like this that he ate a lot as a kid. Well it fit the bill! He said it was wonderful. The only thing I changed was that I sliced the sausage into 1 inch chunks because that's how my hubby likes it. This is a keeper!

This was delicious! I like that there a not that many ingredients. I've always been "sauce" challenged, but this was great. I just made a few changes: I omitted the paste, used crushed tomatoes instead of whole peeled ones, and added just a touch of oregano. Beautiful!

This is great! I married into an Italian family, and have always been lovingly teased about my use of 'canned' sauce. I decided to try this as my first attempt at 'home-made' sauce and invited the in-laws over for dinner (think Marie of Everybody Loves Raymond!) LOL! They were impressed and my kids gave it a 'two thumbs up'! The only difference is I used dried basil, added a bit of oregano, and a lil more garlic. This is super easy to make and even better.......it tastes great!
