SPAGHETTI SAUCE FOR CANNING



Spaghetti Sauce for Canning image

Great tasting sauce. I wanted a recipe that would provide a smooth texture as well as have a few chunks in it. I like chunks but children prefer smooth. A compromise that works for us. Since tomatoes vary in acid levels adjust seasonings and sugar to your tastes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned tomatoes: Opt for whole, peeled, or diced tomatoes packed in tomato juice rather than water. These tomatoes have a richer flavor and texture.
  • Sauté your vegetables: Before adding the canned tomatoes, sauté onions, garlic, and any other vegetables you like in a little olive oil. This brings out their sweetness and flavor.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Dried or fresh herbs like basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary, as well as spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes, can enhance the flavor of your sauce.
  • Simmer for at least 30 minutes: The longer you simmer your sauce, the more time the flavors will meld together. Aim for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning: Before serving, taste your sauce and adjust the seasoning to your liking. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta: Once your sauce is ready, serve it over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, penne, and macaroni are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a delicious and versatile canned spaghetti sauce at home. Use it as a base for other dishes, such as lasagna or soup, or enjoy it on its own with pasta and grated Parmesan cheese.
