My Mama Iuliucci's "Don't Skip a Step" Spaghetti Sauce
My mom made this every Sunday for as long as I can remember. I recall coming home from wherever I was and smelling this incredible sauce! I would immediately reach for the Italian bread to start dipping before dinner. My mom always said it wasn't done yet, but I didn't care! My brother would go through a half a loaf of white bread with this sauce before dinner...it was that good. Try to make it exactly as it is written out...you will be pleasantly surprised and your house will smell heavenly! The little bit of extra work is worth it!!!

This is a great sauce recipe. I have made it three or four times, and I can't believe no one has rated it yet. It really goes together easily and fills the house with a wonderful aroma while it cooks! I used an end piece of pork loin that I browned first and then put into the pot. The only change that I made was to use 1/2 cup of red wine instead of water to deglaze the pan. Then that went into the pot, too. Thanks Karen - this is a real keeper. -
I made this recipe with the corresponding meatball recipe and it was great. My 14 month old son loved it too. I haven't made homemade sauce in ages, but I think it will be a regular on my menu now!

I made this exactly as posted Except I used 32 oz.(1 quart of home canned tomatoes) This is an awesome sauce. I have cooked Italian sausage and meatballs in it, and then I froze the balance to see jow well it was after being frozen. It was just as good as it was when first made. This will definitely be our sauce of choice from now on. Thanks much for a definite keeper.

I tripled this and made an enormous pot of sauce. I love my own sauce, but thought it would be good to try something new. I I followed this to the letter, added all the optional ingredients too. As a mum of four small children, all four little plates were clean, one even licked their plate! Perfect, don't change a thing. My only thing I recommend is making a double, triple or quadruple pot and freeze in bags for sauce on hand. If you are going to make such an effort - make lots!!!! Thanks Karen, it tastes like the sauce at my Italian restaurant.

This sauce was amazing! I bought 2 rotisserie chicken thighs from the deli for this, and 2 raw spare ribs from the butcher. Don't skimp on those two "optional" ingredients!
