    I've never cooked with sage, so I wouldn't know the difference anyway! This is THE SAUCE RECIPE I've been looking for. I have everything else to make it and surely will. Thanks!It sounds delicious!

    Hmmmm...u must've been peeking over my shoulder when I make my sauce LOL. Only real difference is that I use ground Italian sausage instead of ground veal, thinly slice the shrooms, & cook meat in large pot draining off grease prior to using. I hope u use canned Roma tomats, they r the best!!

    When I was a little girl I had an aunt that was Italian. Her mother made the most deliscious spaghetti meat sauce I ever tasted. Have no clue as to what her ingredients were. Maybe your meat sauce will be what I have been looking for. Keep up the great cooking skills.

    I am always looking for new ideas to cook with.
    What are ground mushrooms?
    What are ground onions?
    What is ground garlic?
    Where do I get them?
    Can you cook dry herbs in a dry saucepan then add to a recipe? I always thought you shouldn't do that.

    #2 you cook herbs in a dry pan?
    sage would never be used in an Italian sauce like that. The herbs would burn in a dry pan and then again in a 350 oven.
    what size are the cans of tomato mixtures??
    and what kind of tomatoes..whole , sliced, diced?
    if you cool a pot of sauce that has been simmering for 1 1/4 hours in the refrigerator, you will defrost the refrigerator or lower the temp. drastically. Lots of questions on this 'recipe'.

    I eliminated the sage. It was in there as it was totally authentic, but without it, it really made no difference.

    Have never thought of putting sage in spaghetti sauce. As a matter of fact, I only use sage in dressing and when attempting a sausage flavor in ground beef( sage and fennel seed). Is that why you use it?
