Katie Dishes - One Thumb Up
Ok, in the recipe's defense, I am just not much of a spaghetti or pasta person. So my rating may be a bit on the low side; most people do love this recipe. It is a good meaty, chunky, flavorful sauce.
My mom always added fresh mushrooms to this when I was growing up. But "Be Careful", she would warn, "Mushrooms can make you go crazy!" Of course, I didn't get that joke at the time...
