[@theviciouschickenofbristol4779]

Tried this out last weekend and it was fantastic. This must be similar to how my mom used to make spaghetti because it tasted almost identical. So so good.

[@joannparker1977]

I might use Italian sausage. And for this, I’ll definitely use the onion! I was a bit surprised you used white wine instead of red. But, you know what you’re doing and I’ll do it as well! As always, this looks so hearty and delicious.

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

This is almost exactly how I make mine, but I have to omit both the onion and garlic due to allergies, and I add a little fresh basil right before letting it simmer. If I don't have any wine, I'll put a little balsamic vinegar in right after getting the tomato paste heated up and let that cook out, then add the tomatoes. I use it for several things, regular pasta, lasagna, even in place of pizza sauce, or just heating some up and dipping homemade cheese bread into it. Looks amazing!

[@colerainfan1143]

I’ve started making Italian following these guidelines, and I’m really appreciative. Good stuff!

That looks really really good. I know it's not very popular but I do like to finish my sauce with just a little pinch of sugar. It adds a perfect amount of sweetness.

Just wanted to let you know as others have that your keep it simple with simple ingredients recipes have hit a real niche for us home cooks. I've made several of your dishes and none have failed to get compliments. You cook a lot like I do except you were smart enough not to make the recipes a 10 ingredient lab experiment like I was doing. Now that i've cut back on the complexity, the dishes are coming out with better flavor and certainly better consistency. Keep it up and I will find out how to support the channel.

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you! I think for things like this, it's assumed that if you're not adding a lot of spices, herbs, etc that it can't be good. I find that "less is more" almost always works out better.

[@CaptainsClub1]

Amazing recipe. So simple but so good. Used it to make Jim's lasagna. 5 stars out of 5 for both. Beyond reproach!

[@ptperry9013]

I like that you keep the fat in. Too many people are afraid to do so, but it imparts flavor. (Yes, too much is no good) but it’s kind of like pasta e fagioli, I throw the whole can of beans in there, I don’t care, I think it makes it more “fazooli” richness (plus great cheese). Also, I add a little beef stock to my meat sauce. I like the way you cook!

Ive found I like to add finely diced jalapenos and mushrooms into my meat sauce along with the standard onion ect, It gives it a unique flavor that is quite tasty some and it has a bit of spiciness which is always welcome.

You do a great job of breaking down all the steps to make some delicious dishes. Do you have any videos showing how to make an Alfredo sauce? Thanks for the great content!

[@SipandFeast]

Hey thanks! This meat sauce series is structured to make a bunch of recipes with this sauce. I would store it in the fridge for up to about 5 days. Otherwise, just freeze it in containers and thaw the day you need it - I often do that. I just posted fettuccine alfredo on my website with step by step instructions. It's such an easy recipe that I'm not sure a video is needed. That being said I'll probably make one at some point. Thanks for liking the channel and I appreciate your support!

[@mattbuehler5262]

I used 80/20 and ground pork, followed the video, my sauce did not have same consistency before I added tomatoes...it was thin and slightly runny, I added tomatoes, the liquid rose to the top.
