This is fantastic spaghetti sauce!! I cooked mine for longer, more like 3 hours and forgot the sugar but didn't miss it so next time I'll leave it out on purpose :) Thanks for an A+ recipe!

Excellent sauce...Had friends over to taste and rate and it was voted 5 stars! The only thing I changed was I used splenda for the sugar and added a wee bit of red wine....Made for Spring PAC 2010.
