Hello. New cooker here. Please help me. For following; 
"2 cans 28 oz (796 ml) diced Italian tomatoes
2 cans 28 oz (796 ml) tomato sauce ..."
Are the listed ml the TOTAL amount or the amount of EACH can should be and thus we need 2?  I ask because diced tomatoes only come in 796ml cans where I shop. 
Thanks so much if anyone can answer this for me.

Attn: Gus J.
Celery is defined differently in most countries.
CDN sticks=ribs. That's a single 'rib' of celery.
CDN brunch=stalk.
I think it is the same definition as in the US.

You will find in many recipes that there is an equal number of carrots as celery. So 4 carrots = 4 sticks, or 'ribs' of celery.

Add in 1-2 bay leaves, extra oregano, parsley flakes and extra salt.  Its a great recipe just does need a little more for the volume.

Husband and guests found that this taste like homemade catelli. I’ve never eaten catelli, but seeing as it’s canned spaghetti sauce I didn’t exactly take it as a compliment. I like it, but I prefer my own sauce which is even simpler but is full of fresh herbs. This sauce lacks depth. It needs fresh basil, thyme, and oregano. I also had to add a bit of honey to cut the acidity of the tomatoes (and it did wonders). Overall it’s good, but there are better sauces out there.

when you say cloves you mean like cloves you use on ham, how to you remove them after or do you

Excellent flavor with a slight kick from the chilli flakes, cloves add a pleasant aroma and taste. Sauce boasts a rich red eye appealing  color .    I have about a cup of red wine I am contemplating adding .  However, this sauce tastes fabulous as is!!!!

Excellent spaghetti sauce.  This is definitely going to be my go-to sauce going forward.   Thank you so very much for sharing!!

Must admit that i'm very disappointed with this recipe. In my opinion it lacks in flavor. It needs more punch. All i can taste is the tomatoes. unfortunaltely the taste of the italian sausage gets lost in this sea of tomatoes. It's a decent base but i would suggest adding whatever ingredients fits your palate because it's pretty much flat. A couple tsp of oregano isnt nearly enough to properly flavor the sauce.

We were visiting friends in the summer and they served this for dinner - we never ask for seconds and both did on this occasion! My friend shared the recipe and I've now made this several times as it has become our favourite pasta sauce. We're addicted!
