This dish surprised us the recipe seemed so simple and fast I didn't expect the amount of flavor that it has. At 30 minutes the texture and flavors weren't quite there so I cooked it for a full hour and that made a big difference. The capers are a really fun element and not one I would have thought to add to a spaghetti sauce. Made for SWT 2019

This is a very tasty spaghetti sauce. The meat sauce is very similar to Italian sauce, but the seasoning and briny/salty capers and olives transform it. I'd never added olives to a spaghetti sauce before, and discovered that we really liked them. Made for CQ19.

We really loved this for dinner tonight. This was so full of a variety of flavors. it was a lot like regular spaghetti but every couple of bits you could taste something just a little bit different. I did find the seasoning mix at the store. The first ingredient is msg but I went ahead and tried it anyway. Thank you for a great recipe.

This spaghetti sauce was really tasty -- very similar to picadillo served over rice except it was over spaghetti noodles. Loved the richness from the red wine and the tartness of the olives. Served with a salad and some toasted bread.
