Categories     Main Course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1.5 lbs extra lean ground beef (2 lbs if not using hot italian sausage)
1 lb Hot Italian Sausage (casings removed)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 large onion (diced)
1 green bell pepper (diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup white wine (beef broth works too)
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2 can tomato paste (4 oz can)
1 jar marinara sauce (I like Safeway O Organics)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 - 1 tsp tsp crushed red pepper (start small and increase the heat by taste)
2 tbsp dried parsley
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large pot, over medium heat, cook up your beef and hot italian sausage. When the meat is cooked, drain the meat and set aside (I leave it sitting in a colander over the sink).
  • Heat up the olive oil and add the onion and green pepper. Saute until the onion is soft (about 4-5 minutes) and then add the garlic. Give it a good stir for another minute or two (until fragrant).
  • Add the wine (doesn't matter what kind I have used Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and even Moscato) and reduce for about two minutes.
  • Next up is the crushed tomatoes, paste, jar of marinara, oregano, thyme, sugar, bay leaves, crushed pepper flakes, and salt. I usually stir this together and let simmer a few minutes.
  • Add the meat. Stir and put a lid on.
  • Let this simmer on low - medium/low for at least an hour. If you can get away for longer, do it.
  • After your hour is up, add the parmesan cheese and parsley. Stir and simmer for another thirty minutes.
  • Serve with desired pasta (or spaghetti squash) and top with more parmesan cheese.

MOM'S BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mom's Best Spaghetti Sauce image

A simple, slow cooked, authentic spaghetti sauce, as good as the restaurants serve...or better! The secret ingredient is baking soda, but do not taste the sauce right after adding it. Wait a while, and this sauce will not disappoint you. It is good right from the stove, but the flavors blend overnight. Best served with your favorite meatball recipe, where the meatballs cook in the sauce the last half hour. Be prepared to take a nap after eating.

KITCHEN SINK SPAGHETTI



Kitchen Sink Spaghetti image

This is an adaptation of a 1950's recipe from Franco-American or perhaps Chef Boyardee. The original called for 2 or 3 cans of spaghetti and meatballs, a can of corn, and a can of olives. Over the years this has evolved into my family's main comfort food, and both my kids could make it by the time they could reach the stove. We often cook a huge batch and freeze for meals throughout the month.

VEGGIE " EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK" PASTA SAUCE



Veggie

I love chunky garden vegetable pasta sauce, and after trying a few on Zaar I modified my favorite spaghetti sauce recipe recipe #22782, to have fresh tomatoes instead of canned, lots of fresh vegetables, and less fat from the meat. Easily hearty enough with vegetables to omit the sausage for vegetarians. I find it easiest to prepare the ingredients first. Slice, dice, puree, open cans etc. For stronger garlic flavor, "crack" the garlic open about ten minutes before mincing to give the oils air exposure. Use whichever ingredients you love most. The more juicy your vegetables the less water you need as the sauce will thin as the vegetables cook. It's easier to start with thick sauce and thin in out than to try to thicken the sauce later. My instructions may seem a little elementary for some more advanced cooks, but as I learned how to do many of these techniques while developing this sauce, I wanted to include them for more novice cooks. If you have any suggestions or corrections please let me know.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 lb turkey sausage (hot or mild) (optional)
1 lb Italian sausage (hot or mild) (optional)
1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced (more if desired)
1/4 cup red wine
6 small tomatoes, diced or 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
8 small tomatoes, blanched, skinned & pureed or 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 small zucchini, quartered and thinly sliced
1 red pepper, cut into 1-inch strips or 1/4-inch squares
1 carrot (sliced thin or shredded)
1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced (optional)
1 (3 7/8 ounce) can olives, sliced and drained (optional)
1 cup mushroom, sliced (optional)
1 cup water (adjust as needed)
6 teaspoons chopped fresh basil or 3 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1 lb spaghetti (thin for thinner sauce, thicker for thicker sauce)
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Tomato Puree.
  • Fill a large bowl 2/3 of the way with water and ice.
  • Fill medium size sauce pan with 3 cups water to a boil.
  • Cut an "X" shape at the top of 8 small tomatoes just enough to pierce the skin.
  • With tongs place the cut tomatoes in the boiling water for 30 seconds.
  • Remove the tomatoes from the boiling water one at a time and place in the ice bath, soak for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the tomatoes from the ice bath, pulling the skin from the star end to the bottom.
  • If you want to remove the seeds, half the tomatoes and scoop.
  • Place skinned tomatoes in food processor or blender and puree.
  • Set aside or in refrigerator until needed.
  • Sauce.
  • In large stock/sauce pot brown sausages, breaking into pieces as you like.
  • Add chopped onion, and mix. Cook until onions begin to look clearish.
  • Add the garlic and saute for about a minute, watch it doesn't burn.
  • With the tomatoes ready and waiting (diced, pureed and paste), pour 1/4 cup red wine into the pan and using a plastic spatula scrape anything sticking to the bottom of the pan up ("Deglazing").
  • Add the tomato sauce, paste, and diced tomatoes.
  • Add zucchini, red pepper, carrot, (and optional celery).
  • Stir to evenly mix and coat all vegetables.
  • Add basil, parsley, oregano, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt & pepper to taste.
  • Mix well and evaluate water content.
  • If the liquid level is not enough to cover the vegetables add water until almost covered. The vegetables will reduce down as they cook, and also thin the sauce as their water escapes.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer on low, stirring frequently, for one hour.
  • For a richer flavored sauce simmer longer, just add more water before boiling.
  • Add olives and mushrooms about 30 minutes before serving, and simmer.
  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions, (using fresh if possible).
  • Spoon sauce over noodles and top with parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your sauce a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, thyme, and garlic are all classic choices, but you can also try adding things like cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Let your sauce simmer for a while. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Taste your sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. You want the sauce to be flavorful, but not too salty or spicy.
  • Serve your sauce over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti is a classic choice, but you can also use penne, macaroni, or any other type of pasta that you like.

Conclusion:

Kitchen sink spaghetti sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with whatever ingredients you have on hand. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give kitchen sink spaghetti sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
