Sicilian Spaghetti Sauce (Ragu) No Sugar Added image

This a terrific recipe with no added sugar because tomatoes contain sufficient sugar to make it naturally sweet. We'll put this on pasta not pancakes! It comes from the Sicilian Culture website. Try it and you will see. I also sub 1 lb cooked chicken (if using cooked chicken, cook sauce for complete time and add chicken just prior to serving), or 1 lb Italian hot sausage for the ground beef.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves
6 ounces tomato paste
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon oregano
1/2 tablespoon basil
salt and pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil.
  • chop cloves of garlic and add to the oil.
  • sautee and add the onions until they are clear or translucent
  • Try not to burn the garlic, as it will become bitter.
  • Combine the meat and fry the meat, breaking it apart until it is browned and cooked.
  • Add all to the sauce and continue to simmer for 40 minutes or more.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and good-quality olive oil.
  • Don't rush the process: A good ragu takes time to develop its flavor. Simmer it for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
  • Add a little sweetness: A touch of sweetness can help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. You can add a pinch of sugar, a drizzle of honey, or a few carrots to your sauce.
  • Season to taste: Once your sauce is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until it tastes perfect.
  • Serve over your favorite pasta: Ragu is traditionally served over spaghetti, but it can also be used with other types of pasta, such as penne, rigatoni, or fettuccine.

Conclusion:

Sicilian spaghetti sauce ragu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and herbs, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you serve it over spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni, this sauce is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
