HEARTY BEEF SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Hearty Beef Spaghetti Sauce image

This is family favorite sauce. It cooks on the stove a couple of hours and makes the kitchen smell delicious. It is thick and filling, just add a salad and slice of garlic bread for a complete meal. If I am in a rush, I use frozen chopped onion and fresh garlic in a jar. Note: you can vary the size cans of tomatoes and sauce to your taste.

HEARTY MEAT SAUCE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 servings, makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 small onion, chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Two 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes, coarsely crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces ground beef
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
[For Serving:] Hot cooked pasta

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and stir for 15 seconds. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until brick red, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes with their juices, the sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pot and continue to simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer.
