This is our favourite spagetti dinner...we make it extra special by adding everything but the kitchen sink into it. Yes, there are a lot of ingredients, but it is well worth the effort. I hope that you enjoy this dish.

This recipe was a little too bland for me. I think I'll add some more garlic and chili flakes next time.

The meatballs were a little dry. I think I might add some more bread crumbs next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili flakes next time.
