RED SAUCE AND SPAGHETTI



Red Sauce and Spaghetti image

Provided by Food Network

Time 33m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (28-ounce) can pelati tomatoes*
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1/3 red onion, medium diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced into chunks
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
2 handful fresh basil, torn, plus more for serving
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti, for serving
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • In a food processor, puree the tomatoes to a smooth creamy consistency.
  • Add olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and saute until they are soft, and before it actually starts browning a bit, add the garlic. If you'd like to make the sauce spicier, add a pinch red pepper, optional.
  • Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer on a medium-low flame for about a half hour. Thrive for balance in the consistency of the sauce, it has to be fluid but it should not look overly wet. A few minutes before taking the sauce off the fire, add half the basil and season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve: Cook a nice al dente pasta, dress with red sauce and finish with some freshly grated Parmesan, a couple of leaves of basil and sprinkle with extra-virgin olive oil.

EASY RED PASTA SAUCE



Easy Red Pasta Sauce image

Plain, simple, no frills, basic red sauce that tastes great on a variety of pasta and is not watered down. For making a good sauce, use canned tomatoes. Except for the summer months, the 'fresh' tomatoes are usually harvested when green and left a long time to ripen. Add more red pepper flakes if you like your sauce spicy!

NOT WORLD FAMOUS SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Not World Famous Spaghetti Sauce image

You've tried the rest - now try the best!! I've been making this ground beef/tomato based sauce for years - it freezes well & can be used for lasagna & other pasta dishes. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes. Since I don't measure the spices, I've estimated in order to share the recipe - but feel free to alter according to your own tastes. A little more red wine can't hurt either!!
