THE EASIEST HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



The Easiest Homemade Spaghetti Sauce image

This rich spaghetti sauce is surprisingly easy to make. It's so thick and delicious I bet you'll never purchase the jarred stuff again!

Provided by Christina

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
1 lb lean ground turkey or beef (I use 93% lean ground turkey.)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (I prefer fire-roasted.)
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp garlic (minced)
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • Add oil to a skillet on the stove top. Heat to medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add the ground meat. Saute the meat, stirring occasionally, until browned. If your turkey or beef isn't very lean you may want to drain the grease. (I find that isn't necessary when using 93% lean.)
  • Reduce heat to medium low. Add canned crushed tomatoes, water, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to skillet with the meat. Stir to combine. Cover and gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until everything is heated through and flavors have married.
  • Serve over your favorite pasta, spaghetti squash (see my recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash), or zoodles. You can even add it to the top of roasted veggies for a satisfying but light meal!

SIMPLE SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Simple Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce image

This basic pasta dish can be transformed by adding extras like cooked bacon, shrimp or even a few handfuls of baby spinach to the sauce. We like canned San Marzano plum tomatoes because they are slightly sweeter and less acidic than other varieties.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups sauce

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
One 28-ounce can San Marzano plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 cup torn basil leaves
12 ounces spaghetti
Grated Parmesan, optional
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Steps:

  • Cook the oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring, until the oil heats up and the garlic just starts to turn golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes; rinse the can with about 1 cup of water, and add the water to the skillet. Add the basil, raise the heat to medium-high and simmer until the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the spaghetti to the boiling water, and cook according to package directions; strain well.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, and stir to coat. Serve with Parmesan if desired.
