Recipe #22782
My kids will give up a steak dinner for this
spaghetti. It is a recipe I have been perfecting for
years and it is so good (if I may humbly say) that
my kids are disappointed when they eat spaghetti
anywhere else but home! In fact they tell me I
should open a restaurant and serve only this
spaghetti and garlic bread. In response to
requests, I have posted the recipe for Recipe
#28559 that uses approximately 1/2 of the sauce
from this recipe. Have spaghetti one night and
lasagna later! Thanks to all of you who have tried
my recipe and have written a review. I read and
appreciate every one of them! Chef Note: After I
posted this recipe I remembered a funny incident-my dear husband usually has a nice bottle of wine
handy so when I make a batch of spaghetti I just
help myself to a splash of it. On one occasion,
there wasn't a bottle opened, but there was a
bottle sitting on the counter so I got out the
corkscrew and helped myself. For some reason,
the spaghetti that night was the best ever. My
husband asked what wine I put in it and I showed
him the bottle. He nearly fell off the chair. I had
opened a rather expensive bottle he had bought to
give his boss. Goes to show you--don't use a wine
for cooking you wouldn't drink. You get the best
results from a good wine!

3
Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
4
Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and
black pepper.
5
Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
6
Stir in red wine.
7
Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer
simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it
burn!
8
Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
9
Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with
parmesan cheese.

This was really good. I used 1 pound of sweet Italian sausage,
and 1 pound of hot Italian sausage. I doubled the garlic to 8
cloves. I made no other changes. My husband really liked this. I
do not care for sausage at all, but this sauce made it taste so
good! I kept trying to scoop extra meat in to my bowl! I thought
it was very easy to make, and it makes a ton! I will definitely
make this again! Thank you for sharing your recipe, Sharlene! It
was Deeeelicious!! Update: I had to change this from 4 to 5
stars! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sauce. I made it again,
simmered it longer, and it was even better! I froze half and used
it for spaghetti pie. I will never buy jarred sauce again!

This was ok. For nearly 1,000 reviews I was expecting
something phenomenal, but I didn't find that here. I followed the
directions exactly, with the exception of eliminating all the water
and simmering all day in my crockpot to allow flavors to meld.
Certainly good, but so far I've not found anything that, in my
opinion, tops my own recipe.

Great recipe! I made a few slight changes: used lean ground
beef, added some oregano, chili powder and some bay leaves,
and upped the spice since we love our spicy food. I did leave out
the red wine and it was still great without. Cooked it low and
slow for about 2 hours and it came together nicely. Thanks!

Finally!!! Something the DH really liked!!! His mom was 100%
sicilian and an excellent cook. He is very kind, and usually eats
whatever I make, but I'm a terrible cook. I could tell this was a
very pleasant surprise for him. My 4 yr old DS said, "yummy!
Where did you buy this mamma?" My 18 month old DD that
wont eat anything scarfed down 2 servings!!! Yeah! I used the
only mild Italian sausage my local store carries - and it wasn't
great. (shout out to my home town Wegmans, I miss you!) I'm
going to try it again with a better sausage next week when my
british BFF is coming with her visiting mum and nan for dinner.
Thank you Sharlene~W!!!!!!

sodium in the recipe, but stick to what is listed and it taste find.

I have made this twice now and its awesome! The first time I had
to make a couple substitutions but the 2nd time I followed it
more closely except I used only 1 pound of sausage. I like it
much better with less meat. The other substitution I had to
make the first time was b/c I didn't have any wine I had to use
grape juice with a spash of balsamic vinegar. This time I used a
cabernet and must say I liked it much better with the grape
juice balsamic vinegar mix. I'd like to experiment with a couple
more Red wines next time. I'm extremely picky when it comes
to spaghetti sauce. I don't usually like the bottled ones b/c of
too much garlic but b/c I can control the amount of garlic and
Onions I LOVE this. Its definatley going to be my go to sauce!

I just made this for me and my husband and it was really good
but a little watery. I also added ground chuck and mushrooms.
