Full of flavor! When I found the recipe & decided to try it I started to doubt how well it would stand up to other vodka sauces I've made in the past, happy to say this is my favorite! My wife was extremely pleased with it. Simple to make & I can't wait to make it for guests.

Sorry this is not the best spaghetti sauce you 'bout ever put in your mouth. Tried this because it seemed simple, with few ingredients and we were in a hurry. Quite tasteless even with a great locally smoked bacon. Definitely will not make this again.

I just made this for lunch today. There was no bacon on hand so I substituted it with minced pork & sausages. I also added a pinch of dried parsley, oregano & garlic powder. This is such a great recipe using kitchen staples. Thank you very much for sharing the recipe.
