Thick or Thin?

from JoeUser Forums
I'm making spaghetti for dinner. I like to make my own sauce as I haven't found any jar sauce I really like although the Newman's Own aren't bad in a pinch. I like to make a fairly thick spaghetti sauce. I know a lot of people make a pretty thin sauce. Personal preference thing I suppose.

So, my question is which do you prefer? A thick spaghetti sauce or a thin one? Lots of meat, a little meat, or no meat at all? Spaghetti sauce is a very individual thing are there are so many possibilities. What do you like?

Thick, with lots of meat and veggies.  Sauce you can eat with a fork.

I for sure prefer a thick spagetti sauce,  with lots of meat.  I grew up eating hamburger a lot,  so that's my preference,  however also enjoy mild Italian sausage,  love to put melted cheese all over the top of it too.

That's getting away from a classic spagetti plate though.

Now here's a twist: try melted butter, mushrooms and grated parmesian cheese. mmm...mmm good

But to answer your question, I likes it thick!

No it isn't. Lot's of cheese, preferably parmesan, is a must!

Except for the shrooms (allergic) I agree, that's good sometimes. Lot's of white pepper helps too.

Simple but very thick. Lots of olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, onions, oregano, basil and about a gallon of red wine. Reduce, reduce, reduce until it's so thick you can repoint a brick house. Spaghetti cooked al dente and served with the sauce piping hot, smothered in parmesean.

A fork solves that walking thing.
