Made this spaghetti sauce today for lunch and it really hit the spot. Since I used a mild salsa, I increased the chili powder by another tablespoon and added some red pepper flakes and garlic as well. Thanks for a nice change from traditional spaghetti sauce. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup, January, 2014. -
Great and tasty! I added garlic and red and green bell pepper and omitted the corn. I topped this with cheese, sour cream and green onions. My son said it was the best spaghetti ever! Thanks! -
Oh, SweetySJD, this is soooo good! And couldn't get any easier. My only changes were to use fresh homegrown cherry tomatoes in place of the canned and used the last of some taco seasoning I had made for another recipe. Excellent blend of flavor. Thanks for posting! Made of 1-2-3 Tag Game. -
We loved this! Not the same old spaghetti. The sauce is thick and hearty; it really stays on top of the spaghetti noodles. Very quick and easy to make, too. I used half the amount of chili powder listed (because of the kiddos) and made up the other half with cumin powder. I served the sauce over the noodles and dalloped with a bit of sour cream. My oldest son also sprinkled cheese on his. I think this would be fun with corkscrew pasta.... the sauce would cling really well. This is a keeper. Thanx!

My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
