when i looked over this recipe, i couldnt figure out why nobody had reviewed it because it sounded so good. so i decided to give it a try. i made it for my boyfriend and my family for valentines day. my family loves spaghetti and they thought this recipe was fantastic! it is one of the best sauces i have ever tried and made. i highly suggest it!!! i made afew minor changes but mainly stuck to the recipe. it is so flavorful! if you are looking for a good sauce i would try this one. changes i made: cut the sausage into tiny meatballs instead of lenghtwise added all of the juice from the whole tomotoes added extra basil and oragano to taste
This is the only way I ever make spaghetti. Soooo much better than making your meat sauce with ground beef. To save time I just remove the casings and break up the sausage with my wooden spoon as it cooks. Try to find a good Italian deli to buy fresh sausage.
Indeed the best spaghetti I've made at home thus far (my husband's favorite spaghetti). Gave it four stars because the amount of salt was a bit too much for us so I reduced it to less than 1/4 tsp... we could probably do without added salt altogether. We've made it with and without sausage- both good. Also made it with 1 Tbsp. dried oregano vs. fresh... great that way too. Thank you for the recipe!
This recipe got rave reviews from the family. I doubled the recipe and am so glad I did! Like others I crumbled the sausage (I used lean turkey Italian sausage links) and cooked it with the ground beef mixture. Absolutely wonderful! This will be our permanent spaghetti sauce recipe. Just as an FYI if you prepare it this way the sauce is VERY meaty.
Oh yeah! One of the best spaghetti sauces I've found yet. Hearty flavorful yet not an overpowering tomato base. Made as written except I did use an additional 3 links of Italian sausage. Like other reviewers I sliced the sausage into small meatballs and didn't remove the casings. Next time I'll use fresh basil and oregano but used dried since this is what I had on hand. Five minutes in the oven at 350 to melt the fresh parmesan cheese was perfect. Thanks hungryguy for this amazing recipe!!
absolutely delicious i made this for a family get together and everyone was impressed should ve doubled the recipe:)
Well..well..well...what can I say that hasn't already been said?? This is THE BEST spaghetti I have ever tasted or made in my entire life!! It got rave reviews from my family and neighbor. Followed the recipe to a T..I always saute my fresh mushrooms and onions in olive oil and butter before adding to a recipe I just love the flavor of the mushrooms....anyway probably added a little more garlic that called for but other than that right to the recipe. We really liked the fact that it wasn't so "tomatoey" yum it was absolutely delicious!! This will be my go to recipe from now on..the search is over! I would love to know if this "navy chef" has any more recipes...I served this with Giada D. cheddar onion bread..my god it is wonderful also. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe...I truly appreciate it.
This was extremely good. I served it to company with a green salad and some nice white bakery bread. I took the easy way out and added the sausage back into the sauce and just put Parmesan on the table for people to add on their own. As written the presentation would be much more impressive but this was simple and just as good.
I made a few small changes due to what I had on hand. I increased the garlic I did not add the full amount of salt (just enough for flavor) and I drained off the liquid in the tomatoes and replaced the liquid I drained off with red wine. I did not have fresh oregano so I used dried. Very nice basic spaghetti sauce that was quick to prepare. I don't think it had too much meat I think it was just right. Out of the whole skilletful there is a small bowl of leftovers--I'd say my family liked it!
tasty but not extravagantly so.
