Family-Favorite Pasta Sauce image

This hearty Italian-style meat sauce has a sweetness that I really love. It's the recipe I use for spaghetti, lasagna and gnocci, which I bake with mozzarella and Parmesan on top. -Jody L Bober, St Clairsville, Ohio

The sauce was delicious, but it was a little too thick for my taste. I added a little water to thin it out.

I didn't have any fresh basil on hand, so I used dried basil instead. It still turned out great!

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little cream.
