MY MAMA IULIUCCI'S "DON'T SKIP A STEP" SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine tomato products in large stock pot or dutch oven.
• Add a 28 ounce can of water and stir.
• Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Sprinkle with sugar, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley and grated cheese and stir to combine.
• In a frying pan, heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil and fry up your sausage or meatballs until cooked through.
• Add the meat to the simmering sauce, along with any optional meats (recommended) mentioned in ingredients.
• Now, this is an important, not to be left out, step: Add chopped onions and garlic to pan that meat was fried in.
• Do not drain anything before adding onions and garlic-- there should be some drippings/oil left in the pan!
• Fry onions and garlic until tender and aromatic.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Another important step, not to be left out: Add about 1/2 cup water to the pan and swish around, combining the leftover drippings and onion and garlic.
• Pour and scrape it all into the simmering sauce.
• Stir to combine.
• Let simmer for 3 hours or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
• I keep mine only half way covered, so it cooks down and gets thick and rich.
• Remove pepperoni, chicken and ribs if used.
• Remove meat from bones of chicken and ribs and add back to sauce in small shreds.
• Discard pepperoni, eat it, or chop it up and add it back to sauce.
• Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy.
