Does anyone have a really good homemade spaghetti sauce recipe that they would like to share. Could you also include the amounts used of everything (including spices or herbs), and how much sauce it makes?

This is super simple. I think Hunt's brand just tastes best.
1 can Hunt's sauce (15 oz.)
1 can water using sauce can
1 can Hunt's paste (around 10 oz.)
1/2 T. basil (fresh is better -- 6 med. leaves)
1/2 T. oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Put in crock pot on low and let simmer most of the day or hi for 3-4 hrs. You can add browned meat if you want, but my family has actually found the purity of the vegetarian version more tasty.
Note: when you add sugar, be sure it is brown sugar, it neutralizes the acidity and tastes better! Regular granulated just doesn't cut it.

My comments on the subject. Ragu spaghetti sauce is so cheap, even cheaper with coupons, that I find it not worth making homemade sauce anymore. I do doctor it up a little! There are a lot of variations of sauce and the 26 ounce jars were on sale last week for .99¢ & with coupons much less.
50 years ago I sure made my share of homemade spaghetti sauces ... not anymore! When you factor in the electric or gas to simmer for awhile, it's not cost effective, in my opinion.
where's the fun in buying your sauce from the store?
Finally! A homemade style, upscale Italian restaurant spaghetti sauce, somehow in a jar--how they did it, I don't know, but with Milazzo gourmet pasta sauce, doctoring up spaghetti sauce, is a thing of the past. Thank God for this wonderful product.
Ragu is a perfect way to make homemade sauce. Get the regular sauce. Cut up some garlic, go for quality if you can. Heat some olive oil (bertollis) and put the garlic in. Do not brown the garlic. At the point of where it will begin to brown, turn down the heat and add Ragu. Season it with basil and oregano. Now, you can add tomato paste (follow its directions) if you like. This will tend to make it less sweeter. Adding meat or other veggies is another add-in. The quantities of olive oil and garlic is up to you. I like a clove of garlic per jar.
