Spinach Pasta Sauce image

People are always surprised to hear that the "secret" ingredient in this special sauce is to add a touch of anise. The herb nicely complements the zippy Italian sausage and chunky tomatoes.-Margaret Allen, Abingdon, Virginia

This sauce was a disaster! It was way too salty, and the spinach was not cooked properly. I ended up throwing the whole thing out.

This sauce was okay. It was a little too bland for my taste, and the texture was a bit grainy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make, and it always turns out delicious. I usually add a little bit of garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little extra flavor.
