Great recipe,didn’t change anything,I will make this at least one night a week
I made this recipe as is so that I can give it an honest rating. It did not disappoint! I will admit I was skeptical at 1st based the limited ingredients and spices however it is one of the most flavorful dishes I have had in a while. The only thing I omitted was the mozzarella cheese on top. I used yellow, green & red bell peppers for color. This is one of those sauces that will taste yummier the longer it sits.
Used spaghetti squash in place of the regular pasta. Delicious ??
I added red peppers and mushrooms plus doubled the tomato sauce. Absolutely delicious. Will make again. So easy.
Only 3 stars, because I made several changes detailed later in the review. The changes, for me, bring this up to 5 stars. The sauce in this recipe simply is not a “Sauce” at all, in my opinion, as-is. However, it is a GREAT starter/base. I get that this is called ground sausage spaghetti, and maybe I’m missing the point. But I’ll stick with a little more liquid in the sauce for a meal called Spaghetti. That said, I made this using Johnsonville mild Italian sausage and the flavor was really great. Kids loved it too. I, like another commentor, thought it needed much more sauce, so I added a jar that I had on hand… 24oz Zia Marinara I believe, but anything would work really. I also sauteed the onions and bell peppers in olive oil first until soft, as well as 2 cloves of chopped fresh garlic. Then I removed the vegetables from the skillet and browned the sausage. I didn’t bother to drain the sausage grease since there was basically none to drain. I added all the ingredients back into the skillet with the meat, including the extra jar of sauce, and allowed it to simmer on low heat for about an hour. The finished product was really, really quite tasty. Thick and flavorful. Served on slightly al dente spaghetti noodles, this meal was delicious, and this was a sauce that will probably become a regular for me.
Made it just like the directions say. Super easy and super good!
It was really good. My wife doesn’t like spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce and the like. She really liked the spaghetti I made with this recipe. Thank you. I will be making it this way from now on. I didn’t change a thing.
Wasn’t saucy enough, i added a jar of sauce to it. I also added garlic powder and a tad of black pepper.
Love it. Simple.
I thought it was easy and delicious. I omitted the margarine and added fresh garlic with the pepper and onion. Even my three-year-old finished all of his!
It was simple and easy to make. The whole family loved it, even the 7yr old. I didn’t need to add anything extra. I will be adding this to the recipe box!
Very rarely does my husband rate anything 5 stars, but this one he did enthusiastically. I used a quality sausage, Johnsonville, and fresh plum tomatoes from the garden instead of the canned diced tomato. I omitted the green pepper because we don’t care for it but added a finely chopped large garlic clove. Also, I chopped and sprinkled some assorted cheeses I had that needed to be used over the top. The results were delicious. This is very easy and tasty, and will be in my dinner rotation.
