Homestyle Spaghetti Sauce Homemade Gourmet Recipes

WORLD'S BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE

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.

NICK'S AUTHENTIC ITALIAN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat oil on medium heat in a large, deep skillet. Add onion, carrots, and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add ground beef and pork and continue to cook.
• When meat is browned and onions are soft, add tomatoes.
• When tomatoes have softened and have started to release their juices (about 4-5 min) add basil, sugar, salt and pepper (if you are whole tomatoes, mash the them with a potato masher or spatula to release all their juices).
• Simmer for at least 3 hours (and up to 6 hours), stirring occasionally. The longer you simmer, the better. Important: tomatoes burn easily so keep an eye on them and add beef broth a little at a time to thin sauce if needed.
• In a large pot, cook spaghetti in salted water to al dente, drain completely and return to pot. Add sauce to the spaghetti noodles and toss until noodles are covered.
• Serve immediately.

RESTAURANT STYLE SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large heated skillet or saucepot add olive oil and sausage. Saute sausage on both sides until it browns.
• When the sausage has browned add the diced onion and chopped garlic. Continue cooking until the onions are translucent, but do not allow them to burn!
• Add crushed tomatoes, rinse cans with just a little water and add to the sauce (if crushed tomatoes are not available use whole tomatoes and crush by hand or with an immersion blender).
• add chopped basil, sea salt and black pepper to taste (don't over season, you can always add more later). If you choose to add sugar now is the time to add it.
• After your sauce has reached a boil, reduce the heat to simmer and continue to cook for at least two hours. If you've got the time let it simmer for 4-6 hours for an amazingly rich tomato sauce.

SPAGHETTI SAUCE - GOURMET AND EASY

Steps:

• add all ingredients to pot, simmer on low-medium heat (lower the temperature as consistency thickens to prevent burning) for 3 hours or until desired consistency (longer is better).
• Stir occasionally, more often as sauce thickens.
• if water evaporates too fast, add more and reduce.
