Why buy sauce in a jar when you can make your own spaghetti sauce at home? This delicious sauce is great for any pasta and tastes so much better than store-bought.

We have many recipes for homemade sauce, and after trying this one, my wife said to get rid of ALL of them ! This sauce was absolutely delicious. You can always cut back on the sugar, and we used fresh grated Romano cheese, instead of parmesan, and that was so much better. We’ll make it again, often, but triple the sauce, so it can be frozen.

Thank you for your lovely compliment. This is a really good sauce. I bet this would be great canned as well. Thank you for dropping by and checking out this recipe.

Too much sugar in this recipe.
