Thanks for posting this! I am a sucker for great spaghetti sauce, so I'll keep this handy for a day I can spend some time in the kitchen.

If you don't like you sauce sweet, then only use a small onion, almost all Italians use onions to sweeten never sugar... We always use a large onion, and if you can get your hands on Vidalia onions, they are the sweetest and best...
Enjoy Todd!!

Thanks, good tip with the onion - I didn't know that. After watching The Godfather I always thought it was sugar.

Different regions in Italy have their own recipes for cooking, and they're all different, so I should of said this is the way are family does it...
I collect old and new Italian cookbooks as a hobby, mostly old ones... I even got one from Saint James Church in Trenton,New Jersey, called Italians American Community Cookbook II..

For a sweet tasting meatball you can also add 1/2 a cup of white or dark raisins; we do this every other week or so - the grandchildren love them...
