Answer by 2boys2dogs2birds
mmmm okay…Brown meat (hamburger is best, add a little italian seasoning mix to the meat, too) add in some onion while browning if you want.

Drain meat (you could use sausage, grnd turkey too) and add to a BIG pan or crock pot. Then add in tomato sauce, fresh garlic or garlic powder or garlic salt, italian seasoning mix or a mixture of: oregano (use lots!)…basil….thyme….; add in canned tomato paste to thicken OR cook and cook until its less watery from the tomatoes.

YUM YUM

You can also add some parm to the sauce at the very end.

You can also add some sugar to cut the sauce.

  1. Thanks for the feedback. I keep this in the refrigerator all the time and use it for steak, fish and pasta. So versatile and easy to make

  2. I have to comment again. I made this for mothers day and two more times after. This is amazing. Italian sausage on hoagie rolls or fettucini, grilled chicken and shrimp. It goes with almost everything. Thanks again.

  3. Thank you for this.

  4. Put some extra virgin olive oil in a suce pan and sweat(ccok without browning)until they are soft and tanslucent. Add some garlic(fresh is best, but whatever you have is still a good idea). Afterthis has been accomplished, add your tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatoes(for texture) and simmer for 15 minutes or so. If you would like to add some other veggies(bell pepper or whatever) saute it with yyour onion.

  5. I add oregano, basil and a bay leaf, usually some sausage, and cook it down untill I’m happy with it.

  6. Use:
    chopped onion
    red and green peppers
    basil
    garlic
    salt
    pepper
    red pepper flakes

    adjust everything to your liking.

  7. Do you mean as in tomato ketchup?It’s not the ideal base. You would need to add various ingredients to make it palatable and even then it might be a bit strange. Tomatoes, basil, maybe, garlic, minced meat if you wanted spag bol – really, it is not a good starting point and you may as well use proper ingredients in the first place. Commercial tomato sauce is ok maybe for putting on your sausages but not for much else. Better to make your own.

  8. take four tins of tomatoes and blend them. fry some mince in garlic and red wine. when the wine cooks off add the tomatoes and some tomato puree. leave to cook on a low heat for about 45 mins, stirring occasionally. enjoy!

  9. Cook up some hamburger, then add a can of stewed tomatoes then add Ragu or some kind of jared sauce. It is so good and so easy.

  10. You don’t.
    Tomato sauce:
    Olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
    3 cans whole peeled tomatoes (use a quality brand, Scalifani, Cento, Tuttorusso, or other imported brand)
    1 medium onion, minced
    5-8 medium sized cloves of garlic (use a press or thinly slice it)
    1 Tbsp. basil, dried OR 4-5 leaves fresh, chopped
    1 tsp. oregano, dried, OR one sprig fresh (discard stem)

    In a large bowl, squeeze the tomatoes individually, crushing them. I find it easiest to pierce them with my finger first, so they don’t squirt all over. Add the juice from the can to the bowl and set aside.
    Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add enough oil to just coat the bottom (it will expand and run much more freely when it is heated. Add a liittle, let it warm, then if necessary add a little more). Add the onion and let it saute until soft and transparent. Add the garlic and stir a few times, sauteeing for a minute-don’t let it burn! Add the basil and oregano, then the tomatoes. Let it cook, simmering gently, for a few hours. Taste it, add a little (1/2 tsp) salt, let it cook, then taste and add a little more salt if necessary. Let it cook more. The idea is to let some of the fibers in the tomatoes break down and for the mixture to reduce a bit.

    At this point the sauce is ready. If you prefer a “smoother” sauce (a consistency and texture like jarred sauce) you need to run it through a food mill.

    If all you have is a can or jar of spaghetti sauce, you could try to “doctor” it by adding some spice-but it will still taste like jarred sauce.

    While we’re at it, don’t bother with any Parmesan or Romano cheese that comes in a glass or cardboard jar. It tastes nothing like real grated cheese.

  11. I would think tomtao sauce some itlian seasoing rather your going to have meat or not isnt a issue please dont not put in campbells soup and ketchup if u get regular spaggeti sauce ruins it
