  1. pentru mine asta-i~salată cu patlajeli și pepeni 😀

  2. You can use it but its not the same thing. Spaghetti sauce has seasonings in it. But I’m sure it will be delicious.

  3. sometimes it is but mostly spahgetti sauce is a diffrent sauce

  4. If you are using canned or bottled spaghetti sauce, it is basically tomato sauce. It may have mushrooms, etc and more spices but it will work.

  5. Spaghetti sauce has extra seasonings in it. I think it would taste good though, Italian meatloaf. It will add the same moisture that is required by the tomato sauce. If there are additional seasonings in your recipe, you might want to cut back a bit.

  6. no spaghetti sauce is flavored and is thicker. tomato sauce is just tomatoes and nothing else. u can use ketchup to subsitute the tomato sauce. it’s all the same.

  7. it is not the same. the spagetti sauce will kick your meatloaf
    up a bit with the spices in the sauce,which should be allright as long as everyone likes the taste of the sauce.

  8. Spagetti sauce can be made using tomato sauce. Tomato sauce doenst have any spices or other addtions to it so it may be a little bland. I would use a good marinara spagetti sauce for your meatloaf.

  9. The spaghetti sauce has many of the spices mixed.
    where the tomato sauce is just that,,,tomatoes

  10. Not at all the same thing.

    A tomato sauce is a neutral basis to which you can add spices, meat or anything else so as to make the spaghetti sauce of your choice.

    A spaghetti sauce is a ready to use sauce for spaghetti in which you don’t have anything to add, theoretically.

  11. It is not the same but I bet it would work well in a meatloaf.

  12. Tomato sauce is just that tomatoes cooked with a little water. Spaghetti sauce has spices, salt and a little sugar in it.

    Yes, you can use the spaghetti sauce for your meatloaf, but you might want to cut down on some of the salt. If you have any sauce left over, you can freeze it in the jar. Now instead of regular meatloaf, you have Italian meatloaf!! Now to make it even better, do this: divide the meat mixture into half and pat one half into the pan. Next top it with mozzarella cheese and put the remaining meat over top of the cheese. Top with a little of the spaghetti sauce and bake as usual. Serve it with a green salad and garlic bread. It will be a great hit!!

    You can vary the taste by using taco seasoning in the meat and use the tomato sauce. Then layer it with chilies and Mexican cheese. Serve this with a guacamole sauce or a salad with avocado and fried tortillas.
