Tastes ok. Just really seemed to be missing something. The slight smokey flavor from the fire-roasted tomatoes was nice. Not sure that makes up for the rest of the missing flavor. I tried the touch of sugar; then tried a bit more salt, then a bit more balsamic, and yet nothing brought it together.

The recipe is ok. I should have added a pinch of sugar like another reviewer, I think that would have helped. I did add sauteed mushrooms and some onions as well. That added a lot more flavor. I will make again, and add the sugar.

Prepared this recipe to the letter with the exception of adding a "shtickle" of sugar. I learned to make spaghetti sauce from my Italian mother, it took all day! This is so much easier, quicker, and just as delicious! The fire-roasted tomatoes are key to the depth of flavor.

This has been my go to recipe for pasta sauce for several years. Love it with the pasta shell recipe.

I love this sauce. I found the fire roasted tomatoes near the other canned tomatoes. I love the smoky flavor. We've made this sauce for other pasta dishes and just loved it. Easy to make and lots of flavor. Making the shells again tonight!
