Delicious Spaghetti Sauce

Submitted by fleed

"I have tried many different spaghetti sauce recipes and never been satisfied. But I LOVE this one. I have made it many times since I first came up with it. I don't usually add the sugar because the balsamic vinegar adds some sweetness."

This really is a delicious spaghetti sauce. I was surprised at how quickly it comes together. If your beef is thawed you can have a great meal together in less than 40 minutes. I loved the unique flavour the balsamic and worchestershire add. I did not add the sugar and couldn't find my parsley. When I make it next I may add some hot chile flakes for a little spice.

I was looking for an easy pasta sauce and this fit the bill. When I looked at the ingredients and saw balsamic vinegar and worcestershire sauce .......this means a lot of flavor to me. My husband and I give this sauce a two thumbs up! I used rigatoni pasta and we are looking forward to leftovers! It's a keeper!
