Got a run down of the recipe BEP?

I used this Food Network recipe with some changes. BTW I don't consider this a pasta sauce at all. It's just a tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.

My Changes:

The idea of that much butter in a tomato sauce, turned me off. I used olive oil, or perhaps grapeseed oil, can't remember exactly but either/or is fine. I used just a tad of butter for the flavor they seemed after. It may have been about a 1 1/2 tsps.

And yuck, on using tomato juice. I just skipped that the first time I made it, but there wasn't enough liquid. So on my 2nd attempt, I used about another 4 ozs of tomato sauce. I used Hunts and organic diced tomatoes, because that's what I had from Kirkland which is Costco.

I used ground sirloin. I would say my onion was a bit larger than medium but not really large either. I didn't use a whole pound of pasta either, but about 3/4s of a 12 oz box. It had too much pasta and not enough sauce, the first time I used this recipe and I wanted more sauce.

I used my organic garlic granules for speed and did it to taste. Didn't feel like chopping garlic. I used Stevia instead of sugar.

I chose the recipe because it called for basil. I may have added a bit more. At this point in time, I don't remember. I just know how I like things to taste and I love the taste of sweet basil.
