WEIGHT WATCHERS 0 PT. HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Weight Watchers 0 Pt. Homemade Spaghetti Sauce image

I found this recipe back in 2002 in the Weight Watchers Community Recipe Swap. Because it is all vegies and seasonings it has 0 points. I tweeked the recipe to my liking and have been making it since then - even when I'm not watching my points. It makes about 6 cups (1 1/2 cups per serving). I also add 2 Turkey Italian Sausage links to the sauce to up the points value to 2 pts. per serving. I then serve it over 1 cup of Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta for 3 more points. Gets you a good size portion for a total of 5 points. My husband also likes it. It does get a little watery looking but the flavor is there and is a good size portion.

HOMEMADE CHUNKY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Homemade Chunky Spaghetti Sauce image

We used to have this incredible Russian restaurant here and they used to make something similar to this. I decided when they went out of business that I would try to replicate one of their fabulous dishes. You may add or subtract any of the veggie ingredients to you liking. It seems to be if you add more veggies of various kinds, you may get a pasta primavera, without the tomato paste.

vegan butter, you may add this when you are cooking your onions in addition to the olive oil, it gives the sauce a

Steps:

  • Quarter your mushrooms.
  • Use about ½ a green pepper. You may use more or less depending on your taste for green pepper.
  • Chunk the onion. Kind of like strips then cut the strips in half. This gives the sauce a great flavor.

  • Add your onion and sauté until they are almost clear.
  • Add your green pepper and sauté until they are almost soft.

  • If you are using zucchini, add now. This will take awhile to cook down so be patient.
  • At this point you may need to add more oil or butter.
  • When your veggies are at a good constancy, add 1-2 cans of diced tomatoes, 2 cans of sliced black olives, 2 pinches of dried basil, and the jalapeno or red pepper if you chose to use.

GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Grandma's Homemade Spaghetti Sauce image

I got this recipe from my Grandmother. It's a basic tomato sauce that can have many things added to it to be more elaborate. Try it and let me know what you've done to make it your own!!! PS I've found that the best canned tomato products are Target's brand, I highly recommend using them!

Provided by Samantha Price

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can(s) crushed tomatos (recommend target brand)
1 can(s) tomato puree (recommend target brand)
1 can(s) water
2 can(s) small cans of tomato paste (recommend target brand)
2 Tbsp oregano, dried
1 Tbsp parsley, italian
3 Tbsp garlic powder
1 sprig(s) bay leaf
1 medium onion, whole (skin removed, top and bottom sliced flat)
1 Tbsp basil, dried
1 dash(es) ginger
3 clove garlic
1 dash(es) extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Pour the cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato puree and tomato paste into a large stockpot. Fill up the empty puree can with water and add to stockpot.
  • 2. Cut ends of onion & peel. Put in stockpot whole.
  • 3. Put stockpot on stove & turn on high. You will want the sauce to just begin boiling and then you can turn it down to low.
  • 4. Add rest of ingredients while sauce is heating up. Stir well once everything is added.
  • 5. Sauce will thicken as you cook it. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will get.
  • 6. I will often divide the sauce up into freezer bags or stackable tupperware and put into the freezer for easy dinners at a later date.
  • 7. I recommend adjusting the herbs to your own taste. This does not taste anything like a canned sauce! However, it is very healthy! Add meat, more garlic, veggies, cheese, cream, etc for each specific meal. Let me know what you've tried and what you think of the sauce!! Thank you!

HOMEMADE ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE AND MEATBALLS



Homemade Italian Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs image

All good things come to those who wait and this spaghetti and meatballs recipe is proof of that. Simmer the sauce for so long really brings out the robust tomato and garlic flavors. Sprinkling Parmesan cheese at the end brings another depth of cheesy flavor. The tender meatballs soak up all the yummy sauce while cooking. Serve...

Provided by Julia Ferguson

Categories     Beef

Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 24

SPAGHETTI SAUCE
olive oil (enough to just cover the bottom of the pan)
3-5 clove garlic, peeled
3-4 can(s) tomato paste (6 oz each)
2-3 can(s) tomato sauce (28 oz each)
1-2 can(s) tomato puree (28 oz each)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 - 1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
1-2 bay leaves
salt, to taste (the Parmesan cheese at the end will add to the saltiness as well)
1 pinch sugar
1-2 large handful of Parmesan cheese, at the end
MEATBALLS
2-3 lb ground sirloin
1-2 lb ground chuck
1 large onion, finely chopped
2-3 clove garlic, finely chopped or grated
1/2 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning
1-2 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1-2 handful of Italian bread crumbs
1-2 handfuls of Parmesan cheese
2-3 eggs (depends on the moisture content of the meat)

Steps:

  • 1. This makes a lot of sauce, so you will need a very large soup pot with a good weight to it.
  • 2. Cover the bottom of the pan with olive oil (you want just enough to barely cover the bottom of the pan) begin to warm the oil gently.
  • 3. Place peeled garlic cloves in oil, on low heat cook cloves until just starting to lightly blister. Do not let the garlic brown or burn. Remove garlic.
  • 4. Add tomato paste, one can at a time, thoroughly incorporating the olive oil into the tomato paste each time. I find this is easier to do with a wire whisk.
  • 5. Add tomato puree mixing thoroughly. Add tomato sauce and mix well.
  • 6. At this point, some water can be added, as the sauce will be cooking for at least 6 hours and will thicken as it cooks. I wouldn't add more than 2 of the paste cans full of water. Mix well.
  • 7. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, bay leaves, and salt. Additional cloves of garlic can be added. depends on how garlicky you want the sauce.
  • 8. Cover pan with lid cocked and simmer on low for at least 6 hours. Stirring occasionally, to keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom. While the sauce is getting hot, mix together the meatballs, see below.
  • 9. My mother used veal in her meatballs. The price of veal is so expensive I have started using ground sirloin and ground chuck. The rule of thumb here is to use 2 parts lean veal or sirloin to 1 part ground chuck.
  • 10. Mix together, ground sirloin (or veal), ground chuck, finely diced onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, parsley, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and eggs.
  • 11. Using a spoon (I like to use my large cookie scoop), take a good amount of meat mixture and roll in the palm of your hand, forming a ball. The meatballs should hold together and be about the size of a golfball. I like to get a plateful of meatballs made then drop them into the hot sauce. Then go back and make another plateful to be dropped in the sauce. Repeat until all meatballs have been added to the sauce. Gently, so as not to break up meatballs, push and stir the sauce to get the meatballs down into the sauce.
  • 12. Cover with lid cocked, so steam can escape and thicken the sauce. Simmer on low on the stovetop. After about 1/2 hour check the meatballs and stir carefully, making sure the meatballs do not stick. The sauce and meatballs should cook for at least 6 hours or longer if you like. About 1 hr before serving add a pinch of sugar and stir well, being careful not to break up the meatballs. Add the Parmesan cheese. Mom never stirred the cheese into the sauce, she just let it melt into the sauce. Be careful after adding the sugar and cheese, as they could cause the sauce to stick on the bottom. Remove bay leaves before serving.
  • 13. Serve sauce and meatballs over hot cooked pasta and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.

CHEF LYLE'S HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Chef Lyle's Homemade Spaghetti Sauce image

This is my Grandmothers Recipe with a Chef's Improvements and makes a lot of sauce. I feed three families from a batch and have extra left over to can or freeze. It is time consuming but well worth the time. Freezes well Chefs Tip: I know fresh herbs are expensive if you do not have a herb garden but the taste is well worth the expense, and so to save money and so that you do not throw out the leftover herbs when buying them from your grocer, Place herbs on a aluminum foil covered baking sheet and place in oven on its lowest settings for about 12 hours thus drying the herbs then clean and discard the stems and place them in individually marked Ziploc baggies roiling out the air before sealing and use within 6 months.

Remove the pan from the broiler. Place the pan over 2 burners on the stove. Add 1/2 cup of the wine to the tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes over medium heat, and set aside.
  • In a large 10 quart saucepan over medium heat, sauté the ground beef, pork and sausage until browned.
  • Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Drain off excess fat reserving approximately 2 tablespoons.
  • Add back the meat,tomatoes and remaining ingredients and reserved fat and stir until smooth. Simmer for 3 to 4 hours on low heat, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Add more water as needed to thin sauce and adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Meat is used mostly to flavor the sauce so if desired you will need more for future meals.
