| Spaghetti (Pasta) Sauce
Recipe posted by Allanon |
|
| Ingredients | |
|
1-3 lb. ground meat (beef or turkey) 1 medium onion (sweet onion if available), chopped 2 12 oz cans of tomato paste 1 16 oz can of tomato sauce 1 medium red pepper, chopped 1 medium green pepper, chopped 5-7 white mushrooms, sliced 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or pressed 2 tsp. oregano |
3/4 tsp. marjoram 1 1/2 tsp. thyme 1 tsp. parsley 1 tsp. sweet basil 1/2 tsp. tarragon 1 pinch (1/16 tsp.) red pepper flakes 1 tsp. chili powder 3/4 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups red wine |
| Directions | |
|
Brown the meat and onion, either in a frying pan or in the final simmering pot (at least 5 quarts). Combine all ingredients in the simmering pot or Crock Pot, stirring well so that all the spices are evenly distributed. Add just enough water to keep the sauce from "spitting". Cover and simmer using Medium-Low heat for 1 - 2 hours stirring occasionally to keep the mix from sticking/burning. You can use it immediately, or let it stand in the fridge over night (to let the spices do their thing) and then reheat the next day. It can also be frozen for later use. |

| Notes | |
|
Water can be substituted for the wine I use dried/bottled herbs and measurements are based on that. I use a mortar & pestle to grind them before adding them to the sauce (except for the red pepper and chili powder), but you can just use your hands. "Measurements" are approximations (I never measure), but are a good starting point. Adjust per your taste-buds. ;) |
