This is a great recipe base to go off! I did make some changes to suit my family's tastes: I added a nice Burgundy wine, some thyme (as well as your suggested herbs), and I added the parmesan cheese to the sauce as it cooked along with a few handfulls of grated mozzerella cheese to make it a real creamy delight. I will definitly use this one again. Thank you!

This worked well for us and I'll make it again. The only thing I did was skip the additional salt. We decided that some fresh mushrooms would be a tasty addition for next time.

This was interesting, I added the suggested red pepper flakes for added zip! I loved the color of the sauce, and the texture when first cooked (it did not reheat all that well), but I felt it lacked something, even though everything is right there. I think perhaps next time I make this I will use Italian sausage instead of the ground beef. I did serve this over vermecelli with fresh parmesan and garlic bread. It was very easy to put together and is great for a week night meal.
