This was so delicious! My husband doesn't like jar sauces and has said that it is hard to make a homemade spaghetti sauce with good flavor. I tried this one and it is a new favorite in our home! I always add a pound of ground beef and I skip the food processor part as well (too messy. The olives were such a great addition too. Definitely a staple in our household now! Thanks, Giada, for this yummy recipe!

This is by far my favorite spaghetti recipe! This is the only way I will eat spaghetti without any meat!

My family was out of Parmesean cheese, so I used our smoked cheddar. It was amazing! The recipe was good w/o the cheese, but w/ the smokey taste throughout it made it better, at least in our opinions. Everyone in my family loved it!

The sauce is really nice, but chop the veg in small dice to ensure even cooking; I left out the bay altogether as personal preference, and used a large can of tomato puree and a small can of tomato sauce instead of the crushed tomatoes. For the pasta, I used whole wheat penne, Kalamata olives and cayenne instead of the red pepper flakes. Delicious and perfect for weekday family dinners.

Made this last night and can't wait until a sufficient amount of time has passed until I can make it again! Delicious flavors with just the right spice. Next time I'll just use 2/3 lb. of spaghetti, but I wouldn't change anything else. Thanks, Giada!

Just made the sauce for dinner, and I wasn't all that impressed. I had to add more seasoning as it was a little bland. I found the sauce to be a little chunky even after I put it in the food processor and did it for a long time. Not sure if I would make this again.

Would give it 5 stars but you need to double the ingredients except for the spaghetti (or half the spaghetti other wise it is wonderful.
