RESTAURANT STYLE SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH SAUSAGE



Restaurant Style Spaghetti Sauce with Sausage image

It's easy to make restaurant-style Spaghetti Sauce using just a few ingredients. Adding sausage makes the sauce even more flavorful, but if you don't eat meat its okay to leave it out. This is the recipe I used throughout my long restaurant career.

Provided by Chef Dennis Littley

Categories     Sauce

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cloves fresh garlic (chopped)
120 ounces crushed tomato ((four 28-32 ounce cans) San Marzano if possible)
2 pounds sweet Italian sausage
2 bunches fresh basil (finely chopped)
1 medium onion (diced)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp sea salt (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or more to taste)
1 tbsp sugar (optional)

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.

I got this recipe 30-plus years ago from a neighbor's mother who lived in Italy. It is delicious and always well received. Sub all or part of the ground beef and sausage for turkey or chicken products to lighten the recipe.

MOM'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mom's Spaghetti Sauce image

A great sauce for any pasta dish, I usually leave the meats out for most baked dishes. This recipe came to me from my Mother, a full-blooded Italian-American, with a few minor additions/changes by me. I have never found a recipe that I like as much, but then I am probably biased. Cook time is 1 to 8 hours depending on how long you have. Mom used to cook it all day. I like to go at least two hours, but I have spent as little as 45 minutes on the cook time.

Provided by Wally Wilkins

Categories     Sauces

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 stalks celery
1 large onion
2 -4 cloves garlic (or 2-4 tablespoons of diced garlic from the jar You can adjust to taste.)
3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste (I prefer Contadina)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans tomatoes (Use what you prefer, but I like the diced Italian Seasoning type)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb stewing beef, cut in cubes (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil (can use vegetable oil if you prefer)
4 -8 ounces sliced mushrooms (optional)
2 -4 ounces black olives, chopped or sliced (optional)
1 bell pepper (optional)
oregano
thyme
sweet basil
rosemary
cumin
italian seasoning, can be used in place of the above spices
bay leaf
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
garlic powder
onion powder
salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut celery and onion (and bell pepper if used) as fine as you prefer.
  • If you like chunky style sauce make the pieces bigger, I like mine chopped fairly small.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tblspn of oil, when oil is hot (not smoking) add celery and stirfry.
  • As celery begins to clarify, add onion (and bell pepper, if used) and stirfry until it begins to glaze, add chopped garlic, stir for a short time (don't let anything begin to brown).
  • If using meat, add ground beef or stew beef and brown, stirring regularly, adjust heat to make sure nothing burns.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Transfer to a larger pot (if you have a good sized pot that you can brown in, you can just start with that instead of using the skillet.).
  • Stir in tomato paste and cook until the color darkens.
  • Stir in tomatos and tomato sauce.
  • Add spices (Italian seasoning or individual spices) to taste.
  • Add 3 Bay Leaves.
  • Stir in mushrooms and/or black olives and crushed red pepper, if desired.
  • Stir in 1-2 cans of water (I use the tomato paste, tomato and tomato paste cans to get the leavings out of them.).
  • Adjust heat to simmer.
  • Let cook for at least 1 hour, longer if you can, and stir regularly.
  • Check spice to taste and add what you want.
  • You can cook this for a little while or for a longer time.
  • I prefer at least 2 hours to give all the spices a chance to blend well.
  • But it can be cooked for as little as a half hour.
  • If you want it to cook for a long time, monitor the thickness and add water as needed.
  • Don't forget to remove the Bay Leaves before serving.
  • Some people like to add a pinch of sugar to cut the acidity, but I believe that the Bay Leaves accomplish this and have never used sugar.
  • When done, serve over or mix with the cooked pasta of your choice.
  • Add grated parmissan if desired.
  • Also individuals can add crushed red pepper to their own servings, for those who like it a little spicier.
  • If making a baked dish such as Lasagna, Ziti, etc.
  • you may want to make the sauce a little thinner (add water) to start with.
