This is wonderful! hile I agree that fresh tomatoes would be better, in winter in Chicago, great fresh tomatoes are difficult to find. After looking and trying several other recipes, I stumbled on this one and it was exactly what I wanted. My famile loves it and called it "a keeper", their highest form of praise. Thanks.

This is the best red sauce I have ever had. I doubled the recipe and I used skim milk and white wine. I think next time I would use whole milk as the skim took forever to evaporate. The wine also took more than 10 minutes to evaporate. I think it took about 20-30 minutes for each to evaporate.I had lots of compliments on the sauce and I would definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe.

I had high hopes for these because of all the fantastic reviews. The kitchen smelled wonderful while it was simmering, however no one really cared for the end result. We ate what was on our plates but no one wanted seconds, and no one wanted to rate this above a 2. However I feel that the taste of this sauce could vary depending on what type of sausages you use, so I am not going to give it a star rating.
