Wonderful recipe! I made as is but it could use more oregano!

I will make this recipe again. My husband and I love it. I made 1/2 the recipe and accidentally put in the full amount of dried basil but the flavor was still great. I also used light olive oil instead of cannola. The final change I made was I used Truvia instead of sugar in the proportion listed on the jar. This will be my "go to" recipe in the future. Thanks!

As one who has cooked tons of spaghetti over the last 65 years this recipe is by far the best and by golly I made the full sized batch even living alone, and so glad I did! Have frozen many containers for quick dinners in the future and like someone already commented, it is so good you can eat it with a spoon! I will share with family but you had better believe I have the recipe in my files now so it can be replenished as needed. What a great find!

I was so excited to try this, especially with all the fresh herbs. I made it exactly as directed but my family and I agree that it's missing something. It's very bland and I was very disappointed.

This is a pretty basic red sauce that I have used except for the Worcestershire sauce, sage, and Marjoram. Will have to try these additions. Also for those of us who are not suppose to have the sugar, if you add some carrots, (I process mine in the food processor), that will sweeten the sauce a bet so I do not use the sugar. Also my mother use to put in a can of tomato soup to take some of the acid taste out of the tomatoes and this also should help in the sweetness of the sauce. I don't think she added the sugar if she used to soup.

For those that don't want sugar in their sauce, try this: Cut 4 red, yellow, green, or orange (I like a mixture) peppers in half and remove the seeds. Face cut side down on a foil lined pan and broil or grill the peppers until the skin is charred. Place in a plastic bag for a couple of min. then remove the charred skin. Blend in a blender with some of the tomatoes. Proceed with the recipe as written. I promise you won't miss the sugar. I don't even like raw peppers, but I LOVE LOVE this. It gives the spaghetti sauce such a good flavor. Sometimes I use the sauce blended with some garlic and oregano, but no meat over chicken breast and sprinkled with parmesan cheese or use in chicken caccetore. Yum!

Amuzing...I was reading all the other ratings...how can you make a negative comment without even trying a recipe?????
Oh my...this spaghetti sauce is soooo amazing! Now I can't stand to use canned as there is such an amazing difference. So good I could eat just the sauce and forget the spaghetti. The only thing I changed was just a smidge less sugar. LOVE IT!!!
