I have an extremely picky 13 year old son and have tried several spaghetti sauces. He LOVED this sauce! It was the best spaghetti ever and I highly recommend it. Finally the search for the perfect sauce is over!

Followed this exactly except I used ground turkey in place of beef and I sauted my veggies in a little bit of white cooking wine before adding the turkey back in. It was DE-LISH! Will make again!

I fixed this sauce today and it may be the best spaghetti sauce I have ever made in my 36 years of marriage! My husband thought I ran to our favorite Italian restaurant and bought their sauce! A definite keeper! I did omit the stewed tomatoes and tomato paste and used extra tomato sauce but turned out terrific.

I've made this MANY times over the past few years. It's delicious and easy! I double the recipe for large family gatherings. You can use diced or crushed tomatoes instead of the stewed tomatoes. For a little sweeter sauce, increase the sugar by 1 to 2 tablespoons. Also, I use frozen seasoning blend (onions, bell pepper and celery) instead of going to the trouble to chop fresh veggies. Enjoy!
