I have never made homemade sauce before; and yesterday got the whim! I cut the recipe in half, and used 2# ground beef and 1/2 # ground turkey. Next time I’ll follow the suggestions of others and include ground Italian sausage, and cut the green pepper in half. I also omitted the salt and added fennel seed. Just love fennel in Italian dishes! This wonderful recipe has made my first sauce attempt a success - thank you!

Tasted great! Easy enough to follow that I just cut vegetables and my daughter did the cooking.

This looks yummy. Every other ingredient shows sizes/measures except for the marinara. What size? Sorry, didn't try it but I'm going to - you don't have a choice to not rate it.

This was really simple and went over with both the adults and kids.

Very tasty. I used half ground Sweet Italian sausage. Will not be looking for a different spaghetti sauce recipe because I will make this one over and over again! Reading the instructions was hilarious! So a great recipe, with entertainment.

The recipe was super easy. I added a few other things in my spaghetti that I prefer such as jalapeño, red pepper, mushroom, basil, sage, Italian sausage for meatballs, and ground turkey. I also just love the chef’s personality. It made me cooking that much more fun!! Thanks ☺️

Fantastic, I love making spaghetti but with toddlers in the house I lost my instinct and started blending all the vegetables into mush. When I finally tried to make my traditional spaghetti it was a flop. This time I used this recipe and it was darn close to what my traditional spaghetti tasted like. Thanks Yummly! Would highly recommend!

Magnifico!!! I added extra sauce and such after cutting the recipe in half... it was thicker than I prefer before that.

Yummly User 6 years ago
Absolutely loved it!!! Will definitely be making this again.

It is great! Only thing i did differently was add some spices for the last half hour. I like some celery seed basil and italian seasoning.

Yummly User 6 years ago
Delicious! Easy. Works well for the crockpot.

Fabulous!! I added a wedge of parm and simmered for about an hour.

Yummly User 6 years ago
Amazing sauce! I will definitely be making this again!!

I've made this twice now and it turned out great! I would recommend adding two carrots and grate them! It's an old Italian recipe trick! :)

I added more red pepper (I'm from S Louisiana) and nothing else. This was an amazing recipe that all three of my kids and wife loved. Thank you Pioneer Woman!
