This recipe has AWESOME flavor. I loved the anise. (I added a bit of plain tomato sauce just because I didn't want it so thick, but that was just a personal preference.) SO GOOD! Thank you for sharing! =) Read More

This sauce is okay; nothing extraordinary about it. I did forget to put the tablespoon of sugar, so that's possibly why! LOL Read More

We really enjoyed this recipe. It has a different flavour as described but it is traditional enough to please a family of Italians. I'm not a fan of anise flavour but it works here. The shining aspect of this sauce is the consistency. The ratios and type of ingredients produce a thick sauce perfect for clinging to pasta or to use in lasagne or other recipes because it doesn't drip. This is definitely a keeper recipe. Read More

This is not as spicy as I would prefer but very much to my husbands taste. Hearty and filling. Would make it again for sure. Read More

This is a very flavorful recipe. Easy to make I had everything on hand in fact I doubled the recipe so I would have some to freeze. I choose to make this meatless. Which is a nice option. This is a thick sauce. I prefer a little smoother texture so I might add a little red wine to thin it out. Will definitely make this again. Read More

This is delicious and just so easy. Even easier if you use a jar of spaghetti sauce and extras if you want. Making it in the slow cooker makes it turn out rather like a ragu and you don t have to have the oven on for hours. Thanks for the recipe. Read More
