12 years ago as a newlywed, I was fumbling around the kitchen in an effort to make spaghetti for dinner. I added a dash of mustard powder to give it a little kick and it forever became known as "mustard spaghetti" and the night we had to order pizza. I have been in retirement from spaghetti making and my husband takes over when we have it. Yesterday, I threw this together in the crock pot for dinner and unfortunately, I think I am out of retirement from my spaghetti making. Oh well, we still have taco retirement but that is another cooking disaster story. Thanks for the great recipe!!

I made this yesterday and just loved it.

If I wanted to put this on HIGH instead of LOW, how long would I cook it? Put it in the crockpot at 4:00 and don't want to wait until 10:00 to eat. Will it have the same flavor on HIGH for a shorter cook time?

I made this last night for my sweetheart on Valentine's day and it was delicious! I have never had a fail from your site yet! Thank you so much for the inspiration to enjoy cooking again!

Made this last night, I'll review with my few changes (just had to sub!) used peppered bacon vs pancetta, flat leaf parsley (a little more peppery flavor), and fat free 1/2 and 1/2, and omitted the wine because I didn't have any. It was a good way to hide few extra veggies - my kids didn't notice. Served it with rigatoni (ridges caught the sauce). Hope this helps someone!

Wow, what an awesome recipe.

Thanks for another wonderful recipe Gina! Have you ever tried milk instead of the half n half? I use 1 pound italian sausage and 1 cup whole milk, and it has that lovely velvety texture once its simmered. Love the crockpot idea! Can't believe I've never done it before...

2012-02-02T11:42:36.172-05:00

Hey Gina, I couldn't have screwed up this recipe more, only had one pound beef so threw in one pound turkey, only had diced tomatoes so threw in a THIRD can of crushed after it cooked for 6 hours and a run to the store. I also blitzed it with my immersion blender to "hide" the veggies from my picky son. He ate THREE bowls, which is truly amazing because he is really hard to get protein into. Not only did it turn out amazing, but after all my unintentional tweaks a half a cup came to 2 pts!!

I am making it again right now this time I made sure to have all the right ingredients on hand.

Once again, another recipe to add to my regular meals! You rock! This was so delicious and so easy to make! I used turkey bacon instead on pancetta and ground turkey instead of ground beef..turned out amazing!!

If I am getting this ready the night before-do I add everything before putting in the fridge?

2012-01-23T18:50:01.315-05:00

I made this last night, and it had so much flavor! I used fat free half and half (the store didn't have the regular)and the two bog strapping men I each had full plate seconds! Definitey a keeper.

I'm a bit late to the game, but I just made this today with 96% lean ground beef, which was all they had at my supermarket, and it dropped the P+ down to just 3! And it was delicious! Thank you so much for all of the great recipes--I have about 20 cookbooks but I find myself coming here for inspiration first!

I made this wonderful sauce this weekend and we just loved it! It was so much better than just "fixing" up sauce from a jar. This is going to be a favorite in my house. I love that it is freezable too. Thanks, Gina, for all your great recipes. I have one week left to make Lifetime in WW, and you helped me do it!!

Thank You! Just wondering if "bolognese" sauce only requires certain spices VS. others, to keep it authentic. (as I am no where near Italian!)

2012-01-10T16:53:29.861-05:00

This was SO delicious. I live in The Netherlands and lean ground meat is hard to come by so I made it with half beef, half pork and it turned out so flavorful (I did have to do a fair bit of grease draining though! :) It may not have turned out as low-fat as I would have liked, but it was awesome. Thanks Gina!

2012-01-10T16:18:31.348-05:00

Just got all the ingredients into my crockpot and can't wait to sneak a taste later this evening. I'm putting together some meals for my family since I'll be out of town, and want healthy meals my family can eat.

Love this website Gina! Thank you for what you do - my family enjoys all the recipes I make from this site!
