  1. 9/24/24...this is my 4th season making this tasty and easy spaghetti sauce...there are only two of us so I get 5 freezer bags full...this time I only froze 4 bags...with the leftover sauce I threw in some frozen meatballs and served them over penne...I love how this sauce doesn't take up to much room in the freezer...yes you can add more spices...although I normally don't but I enjoy it with fried up ground beef and slice mushrooms...thanks Nana for sharing the recipe...
     
  2. Great sauce. Been using since 2009 and can't say enough good things about it. You can change and tweak it to your own tastes, but the basic recipe has lots of flavor. It's easy to pop out of the freezer for a quick family meal.
     
  3. It made a very thin spaghetti sauce but was a good way to use up lots of tomatoes. This would be 5 stars if you increase the spices because it is rather bland. I have to add paste each time I use a new freezer bag. I do plan on using this as a base recipe next canning season.
     
  4. Very good! I followed the recipe exactly except omitted the green pepper (I'm not very fond). Let it simmer most of the afternoon and yummy! We have a zillion tomatoes, so I will be making up more of this great sauce. Thank you for posting.
     
  5. Nice sauce. I used 4 cups of home grown tomatoes that I had blanched, and 4 cups of canned. My peppers were red but no one could tell when I pureed it all. This surprised me by how sweet it was. I'd add more spices next time, but it was easy and good.
