This is my family's favorite spaghetti sauce. I used to use a canned sauce, but tried this one night and since then it is the only sauce my family will eat. It is super easy to double or triple and freeze for future use for either spahgetti, lasagna, or any other of your favorite pasta fillers. Easy to make, great flavor.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 quart, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 garlic clove (I use 1/8tsp dried minced)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
hot cooked spaghetti

Steps:

  • In a dutch oven cook ground beef and onion till meat is browned and onion is tender; drain.
  • Add the next eight ingredients; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the bay leaf.
  • Serve over spaghetti.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful herbs will make a big difference.
  • Brown the meat well before adding the other ingredients. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor. The longer you simmer it, the better the flavors will blend together.
  • Add a touch of sweetness to the sauce with a small amount of sugar or honey. This will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Be sure to taste it before serving to make sure it is well-seasoned.

Conclusion:

This savory spaghetti sauce is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used to top pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
