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.

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until totally browned. Remove the meat from the pot with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl. Set aside.
- Discard any grease in the pot, but do not clean the pot. Drizzle in the olive oil. When it is heated, throw in the diced onions. Stir it around for 1 1/2 minutes, and then add the garlic. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and marinara sauce. Stir to combine, and then add the sugar, salt, oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper (if using) and bay leaves. Stir, then add the cooked ground beef and stir to combine. Place the lid on the pot and allow to simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add a little water or some low-sodium broth if it needs more liquid.
- After an hour, add the minced parsley, basil and the Parmesan rind if using (or grated Parmesan if you prefer--or both!). Stir to combine, and then put the lid back on and allow it to simmer for another 30 minutes or so. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
- Serve a big bowl of oiled noodles and the spaghetti sauce so guests can serve themselves. Top each serving with minced parsley and grated Parmesan (or Parmesan shavings) and serve with a big piece of garlic-cheese bread.
- Amen.

MOM'S BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE
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.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large (at least 4.5 quart) pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, onion and parsley and cook until the onion is translucent and beef is browned. While the beef is cooking open all the cans of tomato products. Once the beef is done, add the garlic and cook for about a minute or so...don't let it get to the point of getting brown (if you see it just turning brown that's as far as you want to go). Add all the tomato products and Chianti and stir until smooth. Lower the heat to medium. Add the basil, oregano, bay leaves, carrot, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, red pepper and sugar. Once the sauce begins to bubble, lower the heat to medium-low so that it just barely bubbles. Cook over medium-low to low heat for a couple of hours (stir often) so some of the liquid cooks off. Don't cover the pot, but use a splash screen to keep the mess down if you like.

THE BEST HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE EVER. PERIOD.
When I found my Taste of Home magazine in my mailbox, I was excited to try this slow cooker recipe for "Stamp of Approval Spaghetti Sauce" Orginally submitted by Melissa Taylor of Higley AZ. This sauce is the best stuff I have ever tasted- there is no comparison in taste between store bought and this! Everyone that I made it for, my hubby, son, sister, mom and dad loved it and I (shamefully) ate 2 bowls full of plain sauce before serving! Just try it. Notice- It makes a BIG crock pot full of sauce!

Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- 1 In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir. 2 Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened. 3 Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water. 4 Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. 5 Stir well and barely bring to a boil. 6 Stir in red wine. 7 Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn! 8 Cook spaghetti according to package directions. 9 Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them more concentrated.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to find a combination that you love.
- Simmer your sauce for a long time: The longer you simmer your sauce, the more time the flavors have to meld together.
- Add a little cream or butter at the end: This will help to make your sauce richer and more flavorful.
Conclusion:
There is no one perfect spaghetti sauce recipe. The best sauce is the one that you like the most. So experiment with different recipes and ingredients until you find a sauce that you love. And don't be afraid to make changes to the recipes that you find. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process.
