  1. This is a MUST try. By far the best pasta sauce I have ever tasted. I used mild Italilan sausage and omitted the red pepper flakes, personal tast. SF Girl, I'll never make another pasta meat sauce again, this is perfection. Thank you
     
  2. I think i need to try this again. I forgot to put in the wine/juice and it actually overcooked, which has never happened to me in a crockpot before! It was quite tomatoey but this might also be because I forgot the juice and also didn't put the peppers or mushrooms in. I think with some extra tweaking it would be a good recipe to try again...
     
  3. This was so good, especially after all the ways I "cheated" the recipe: using pre-cooked, frozen ground beef, slightly burning my veggies (baby's fault!), and using slightly less tomatoes and sauce (to use up stuff from the fridge), and using grape juice rather than wine. Still, it was wonderful to come home to such a great smell, with only the pasta to cook. I also put fresh spinach in the serving dish with the sauce and pasta; that wilted and was enough for us to skip the salad. I think next time I'll double the recipe and freeze the extra. Oh, and I usually don't like spicy food, but the 1/2t of pepper flakes did add a nice touch.
     
  4. This is excellent sauce. I used hot Italian turkey sausage but the DH requested next time I use regular sausage and not turkey. Great flavor, not bitter at all like some sauces can be. I will probably cut back or omit the bell pepper next time, it tasted almost like a red pepper sauce, which is great, but I prefer a more traditional spaghetti sauce.
