Sausage, Artichoke & Sun-Dried Tomato Ragu image

This is a thick and hearty spaghetti sauce that's simple to prepare. Like all good spaghetti sauces, this one tastes even better the next day. If you prefer a little celery or bell pepper in your sauce, go ahead and throw them in. The results will still amaze. -Aysha Schurman, Ammon, Idaho

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I used chicken sausage and it was still very flavorful. I served it over rice and it was a great meal.
