Hearty Homemade Spaghetti Sauce image

After years of experimenting, my mom has perfected her hearty spaghetti sauce recipe. It's excellent served with a tossed salad and garlic bread. Although the recipe makes more than two servings, it freezes well. -Jennifer Shaw, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The sauce was bland and watery, and it didn't have much flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I might have used the wrong type of tomatoes. I'll try it aga

This sauce is really good! I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add a few extra cloves of garlic and a bit of red pepper flakes to give it a little
