This recipe was a disaster. The sauce never thickened, and the pasta was overcooked.

The sauce was too watery. I had to simmer it for an extra 30 minutes to thicken it up.

This sauce was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more garlic and onions next time.

I'm not a huge fan of red sauce, but this one was surprisingly good. It was light and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a great starting point for a basic red sauce. I like to add some red wine and mushrooms to mine for a more complex flavor.

I made this sauce last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The sauce is flavorful and rich, and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente.

This red sauce is a staple in my kitchen. It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I love that I can customize it to my liking by adding more or less garlic, onions, or herbs.
