Luke's Wicked Spaghetti Sauce image

This is a great way to do spaghetti sauce that my mom taught me. It is easy to make and everyone who has it seems to like it a lot. I live alone, so I usually freeze portions, and they reheat great.

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 Quarts(est.), 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2-1 lb ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can whole tomatoes
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Saute in olive oil, be careful not to cook the garlic too long. I add the onion first, and the garlic for the last couple minutes of cooking.
  • Brown the ground beef, I drain and discard most of the fat.
  • In large pot add whole tomatoes (I chop each of these into smaller pieces in the pot.) Add the tomato sauce. Add the tomato paste. Add the beef and the onion/garlic mixture.
  • Add your red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp depending on how spicy you want it, oregano, basil, sugar, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix well and simmer on low for 60-90 mins, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup of water if it gets too thick while simmering. Remove bay leaf, and serve over pasta, top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
