Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use the best quality ground beef, tomatoes, and spices that you can find.
- Brown the meat thoroughly: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming greasy. Cook the meat over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
- Use a variety of spices: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and basil are all classic choices for spaghetti sauce. Experiment with different spices to find a combination that you like.
- Don't be afraid to add a little heat: Red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper can add a nice kick to the sauce. Just be careful not to add too much, or the sauce will become too spicy.
- Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta: Spaghetti, linguine, and penne are all popular choices. You can also use the sauce to make lasagna or baked ziti.
