I have made this recipe twice already. It needs alot longer then an hour to simmer. It took 3 hours this last time to get it to a thick enough consistency. Other changes: Used ground turkey instead of beef. Added some parsley and oregano. Other than that, I absolutely adore this recipe and will be using it as 'my' spaghetti sauce recipe. Read More

Every time I eat spaghetti with this sauce I just lose myself in it. One time after my mom made it I accidentally dropped it. I couldn't believe I dropped mom's spaghetti. It felt like my soul was escaping until she made more. I'm glad she makes it because every time I try to I keep on forgetting what I wrote down. Anyway this sauce is really good. Try it even if you only give it one shot. Read More

We loved how simple and good this was.I had to make small changes due to missing ingredients.I did not have parsley but would have added it.I can so I used 2 quarts tomatos so I had to cook longer to get the water out. I used our favorite deer/pork sausage but still fried it in the oil with onions which would have been the way I usually do it. Read More
