  I thought this sauce was good, but nothing special. I thought it tasted like your average run of the mill tomato sauce. I will say though, that I am picky about my sauces. I think it needs the quantities of the spices increased to add more flavor. - 8/8/11

  This is super good! I used a can of tomato soup in place of one of the cans of paste because its what I had in my kitchen. The flavors are amazing!!!!!! - 5/1/10

  absolutely wonderful. Beats any other homemade sauce I've tried!!! Wonderful flavor. I did add an additional teaspoon of italian seasoning because I didn't have any thyme and not enough basil! - 4/15/10

  WOW! Fantastic. Both the hubby & I loved it. I did add mushrooms, beef, peppers, and Parmesan but it was the sauce that had all the flavor. Wish I could eat more!! - 7/2/12

  Absolutely awesome even though I forgot the brown sugar and I added a little more Cabernet because I needed to use it up. I froze the leftover sauce so I can use it again - 5/19/17

  This is so easy to stir together and is delicious. I will be making this as my go-to spaghetti sauce from now on. I used my own canned tomatoes but I did use the purchased tomato paste. I loved how nice and thick this sauce is. I followed the recipe as given. - 4/24/14

  I haven't made this recipe, but have made Jo Mama's without the meat. My question is about the nutritional info listed above. What is the source of protein? If this has six servings, that would be 35.4 grams of protein in the entire batch. From what? If I'm missing something, please let me know. - 3/19/13

  Yum!It turned out great! I also used tomato soup in lieu of the tomato paste as a I didn't have any. I like my sauce a little thicker though - hopefully the tomato paste will do that. I added fress red/green peppers and mushrooms. The red wine gave it great flavor. - 7/11/12

  This is basically Jo Mama's (quite possibly the best spaghetti sauce ever created). I was glad to find the calories & nutrituion for this sauce. I make this all the time in double batches and I do use the Italian sausage as in Jo Mama's sauce. I would use the Jo Mama's recipe @ foodnetwork.com - 6/4/11

  I had everything but the thyme and parsley and I did not add wine.Very good! I did add a couple of tsp of ital seasoning in place of the thyme and added some sun dried tomatoes.I think next time I will only use 1 tsp of basil as it turned out just a little sweeter than I am use to.Thanks for sharing - 2/3/11

  Loved it! I like my sauce a little runnier so I used V8 juice instead of tomato paste. I also added a few dashes of Old Bay. I also chopped up the meat from the "Confetti Mini Meatloaf" recipe (my daughter didn't like the meatloafs originally but liked it once I put it in the sauce.) - 8/26/10

  Wonderful recipe! Easily the best spaghetti sauce I've ever had. Made recipe exactly as stated then transferred to a crockpot to simmer as we would be out for a few hours in the afternoon. It was thick and tasty, fabulous with meatballs and whole grain pasta! Thank you so much for sharing!!! - 1/14/10
