THE BEST HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE EVER. PERIOD.



The Best Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Ever. Period. image

When I found my Taste of Home magazine in my mailbox, I was excited to try this slow cooker recipe for "Stamp of Approval Spaghetti Sauce" Orginally submitted by Melissa Taylor of Higley AZ. This sauce is the best stuff I have ever tasted- there is no comparison in taste between store bought and this! Everyone that I made it for, my hubby, son, sister, mom and dad loved it and I (shamefully) ate 2 bowls full of plain sauce before serving! Just try it. Notice- It makes a BIG crock pot full of sauce!

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, fragrant smell. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in a 400-degree oven for 30-45 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Italian herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme are classic additions to pasta sauce, but you can also experiment with other herbs and spices like rosemary, marjoram, or chili flakes.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Pasta sauce should be simmered for a while to allow the flavors to meld, but it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked sauce will lose its fresh flavor and become thick and bland.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: The best way to make sure your pasta sauce is perfect is to taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed.

Conclusion:

Making homemade pasta sauce is a great way to create a delicious and flavorful meal that the whole family will enjoy.
