So terribly easy and tastes great too! Just made this recipe last night trying to get something on the table easily / quickly for a weeknight - this meat sauce is just the ticket! I did allow the alcohol to cook out a bit more than directed and added more garlic with some Italian seasoning. Served over whole wheat pasta, very hearty and filling. The quality of this recipe relies entirely on liking the jarred pasta sauce (my favorite is Classico Tomato-Basil - sugar & sodium content well within check). I will absolutely be keeping this one; enjoy!
