MIMI'S FANTASTIC THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE
A few years ago I came upon a sauce that was so good but........... I altered it quite a bit to fit our family. This is now the best sauce I have ever had and if you follow the measurements, it will come out the same every single time. I use Tuttoroso brand in the puree, paste, and sauce because that is the one my friend's mother always used. She was from Italy and made the best sauce in the world. Hubby loves it and comments on it whenever we have it which is once a week. It freezes well and is great with meatballs even thought there is a lot of meat in the sauce. Serve it with garlic bread and you will be sooooo happy.

Steps:
- In a heavy pot, brown sausage and hamburg, breaking it up into smaller pieces.
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic and cook till meat is done; add tomato paste and stir until it is mixed in well.
- Add tomato puree, sauce, and water (when measuring the water, put it into the puree can to rinse it all out and then add to meat mixture).
- Add basil, brown sugar, salt, parsley, and black pepper and mix well.
- Add the Parmesan cheese (yes, to the the sauce) and mix it in well.
- Simmer on low for 2-4 hours stirring occasionally so it won't burn; if you think it needs some thinning down, add about 1/8 cup water at a time; don't add too much because you want it thick so it will stick to your pasta.
- Cook your spaghetti and enjoy! Eat what you want and freeze the rest in containers that will hold the amount you will eat at a sitting.

THICK & MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE
As everyone knows by now, most of my recipes come from a "Taste of Home" recipe magazine. This is by far our favorite spaghetti sauce. It is so thick and meaty that sometimes my boys just pour it over a piece of garlic bread and eat it like that!

THICK SPAGHETTI SOUP
This is an extremely thick hardy soup, a whole meal in a bowl. We usually have some raw vegetables with dip and some good crusty bread with it. It freezes very well. I've had this recipe for sometime now. I believe it came from the first year of the Taste of Home magazine, but I'm not positive.

CHEATER'S THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This recipe came about after 6 years of making my family suffer through a thin, watery, homemade Weight Watcher's spaghetti meat sauce; hence, the words "cheater" and "thick" in the recipe title. Maybe my husband and son just don't have much to compare it against, but they really enjoyed this sauce. It made me actually enjoy the whole wheat pasta that I usually just endure! This recipe appears to be high in fat, but you will drain off the oil after browning the ground beef, if that's any consolation. I didn't add salt because there's usually enough sodium in the bottled sauce to preserve a small side of beef.

Steps:
- Heat oil in large, deep pot until hot but not smoking.
- Lower heat to medium-low and add dried onion. Fry onion, stirring occasionally, until it softens and turns a light brown color, about 4-5 minutes. Watch it carefully, and monitor the heat. If the onion is jumping excitedly, your pan is too hot. You want the onion to lie on the bottom of the pan and twitch nervously.
- Add ground beef and brown it until there's no more pink. Don't stir the beef too much as it browns. You can get big chunky pieces of meat if you let it brown on one side, then flip it over and break it up just a little with a wooden spoon.
- Drain ground beef of excess fat. Don't be too thorough about this, because you need about a teaspoon of fat in which to fry the bell pepper.
- Over medium-low heat, fry the bell pepper for about a minute in the teaspoon of fat that you left in the pot.
- Add ground beef back to the pot.
- Dump in both jars of spaghetti sauce, both cans of tomato paste, and the water. Mix thoroughly.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over pasta.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of spaghetti. Thick spaghetti, such as linguine or bucatini, will hold up well in the soup and won't get mushy.
- Cook the spaghetti al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. When cooking the spaghetti, make sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around.
- Season the soup well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the soup, such as garlic, onion, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Add vegetables to the soup. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and nutrition to the soup.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
- Garnish the soup before serving. A sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil can add a finishing touch to the soup.
Conclusion:
Thick spaghetti soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give thick spaghetti soup a try.
