I make this with eggplant and boneless chicken thighs. Not vegetarian but oh so good!

This is a fantastic simple way to make a sauce. You have so much flexibility to make it any way you like. I have been following this base recipe more or less over that past few years and modify it each time. A little more of this, a little less of that. I even make a meat sauce by throwing in some ground beef and spicy sausage meat half way through cooking the onions. Like with any recipe there is no hard and fast rule. Be creative.

Excellent, simple. I used pre-cooked meat balls. I cooked the acini de pepe beforehand in a beef broth and added during the simmer step. I added chopped green onions and spinach.

Excellent. I will be making these again.

Excellent. Follow the recipe. I didn't have celery but still turned out amazing and compares to my mom's version.

They are an excellent healthy no-guilt way to have a burger. Very tasty and VERY filling. Most of my family could only eat one and the others that had two were stuffed. Mind you I made my patties a bit larger.

OMG, amazing, delicious and spicy. can't get enough. made twice already and salivating thinking about them now. they do not disappoint. if you like spice don't be shy about adding and extra scotch bonnet with seeds.

I used brown sugar instead of white and they turned out amazing.

Yummy.
