Excellent sauce - made exactly as directed except I left out the mushrooms. I am wondering, though, is the fresh parsley necessary? I didn't notice the taste of it and went out to buy it specifically. Next time I'll try dried to see if I can taste the difference. I also might leave out the green pepper as my family is not a fan (although no one complained). Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Great! Simmered most of the day then added Recipe #28248. Omitted the mushrooms cause the kids don't eat them. Guess I got distracted cause I added a third can of diced tomatoes (rather than whole) by mistake and added a cup of wine, again by mistake, because apparently I hallucinated those parts of the recipe LOL. It was still wonderful! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Loved this sauce! The smell permeating the kitchen was wonderful, I just had to keep sampling. I love this recipe because of all the spices. The only thing I changed, was I only used 1/2 pound of mushrooms and that was only because I am not a fan of the fungi but my husband is, so I met him halfway on the amount. Thanks for another great recipe, Roger!

I have got to give this 4 stars because it is as good as, if not better than any I have made. I still am looking for that one that knocks my socks off. My cousin used to live with me and she made one that did. She's just KookY and I can't seem to get the recipe from her. Or is she smart??? Anyway this is very good, just not as good as hers. So 4 stars.

This was one of the best spaghetti sauces I think I have ever made. The sauce was rich and very flavorful. Had a wonderful blend of spices. I made the first batch making only half the recipe but ended up testing it so much during the day I had to make the other half. Made the second batch with 1 pound of hamburger meat, just to see if it made any difference, but it didn't add much at all to this wonderful recipe. Thanks Roger for a great recipe.

For extra cash, we have a small herd of Texas Longhorns here in Ohio. We raise them for both show and beef. I go into withdrawal when we run out of our lean meat and have to buy the store bought meat.
I have been involved in buckskinning (camping where tents, dress and everything conforms to pre 1840)for 15 years. We bought a motorhome last year so most of my camping has been modern style lately. My wife likes the conviences. I love nothing more than to sit around the camp fire all day and cook. If you run into me at a camp grounds, both modern and oldtime, bring your plate and hunger. There is always something on the fire.

When I first came to the Zaar, every recipe was great. I have become more critical
5 Stars - Fantastic recipe. I would pay for this dish in a restaurant and tell all my friends to try it.
4 Stars - Truely a great recipe that I would proudly serve to guests as is. May tweak a slightly.
3 Stars - So so. Didn't move us either way. Maybe a good basic recipe to build on or it may be be an item that doesn't normally grace our table. That will be stated. I may make again with changes.
2 Stars - Sorry nobody liked it.
1 Star - Don't know what went wrong, but something did. Nobody ate it. No clue what to do.
