Very Special Spaghetti Sauce image

This is very meaty and not near as acid as most sauces. It's really worth the time. It makes a very large batch, so I often freeze half.

This sauce is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less lemon juice next time.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but this sauce is so flavorful that I don't even mind them.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less crushed red pepper next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery and it turned out great.
