Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound chopped onion
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 pound mushrooms, chopped
28 ounces no-salt-added whole tomatoes
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a nonstick skillet, brown the meat in its own fat, stirring to break the meat up. Push it to the side of the pan. Add oil, and saute onion until it begins to soften. Add garlic, and cook 30 seconds more. Add the carrots and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms begin to give up their juice. Cook until the liquid evaporates.
  • Add tomatoes, breaking them up with fingers as they go into the pan, along with tomato paste, basil and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour. Cool, and refrigerate or freeze.
  • To serve, reheat slowly and serve over spaghetti.

I've tried many tomato meat sauces before, but this one is by far the best. It's so flavorful and rich, and it's the perfect consistency. I will definitely be making this sauce again and again.

I was really impressed with this sauce. It was so easy to make and it tasted like it had been simmering for hours. I used it on lasagna and it was the best lasagna I've ever had.
