So fresh
I have made this recipe about 10 times over pasta and spaghetti squash. I never quite make it the same. Sometimes we add spinach our zucchini or other veggies to the sauce mix. We love it though, always fresh and delicious tasting.
My favorite way it's too add extra garlic, half a red bell pepper and cook 1 lb of mix ground beef and hot Italian sausage in the side. Combine meat, blended sauce, bay leaf, 1-2 take spoons Olive oil, and a splash of red wine in a sauce pan and low simmer for an hour.

Easy and the most delicious!
I made this a couple weeks ago with some veggies from my garden and added a bit of crushed tomatoes and zucchini. This is the best spaghetti sauce I have ever eaten served over spaghetti squash. I'm making again tonite and can't wait!!

Very yummy
This was my first sauce and it was awesome, could use a bit more salt. I threw in some red/yellow peppers for giggles and was amazed at how hot it was after blending for 5 minutes. I did not have to heat it up on the stove at all...just pour onto my noddles. I was also surprised at how quiet the Vitamix blender was...our old blender required chainsaw hearing protection while running it. Great recipe.

Great taste
I was super excited to make my own pasta sauce using this recipe and wanted to use more veggies than tomatoes. I followed this recipe and added a small can of tomato sauce. I also added a handful of spinach. My sauce tastes great however it looks like brown gravy. How has everyone else kept the red color of their sauce?
