Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1 medium yellow onion, grated
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 carrots, finely grated (use a food processor or a grater)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup water (pasta cooking water, preferred)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
Handful fresh basil, about ½ cup packed, torn
Handful fresh parsley, about ½ cup packed, chopped
3/4 lb to 1 lb of cooked pasta of your choice

Steps:

  • In a large pan heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the onions, garlic, and finely grated carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and about 1/2 cup water. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in oregano, paprika, crushed pepper flakes, if using. Finally, stir in the fresh basil and parsley.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check partway through, and if you feel the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more water (preferably some of your pasta cooking water). When sauce is ready, throw in more fresh basil, if you like.
  • If serving for dinner, add cooked pasta of your choice to the sauce. Mix to combine and let the pasta cook in the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.

THE EASIEST HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



The Easiest Homemade Spaghetti Sauce image

This rich spaghetti sauce is surprisingly easy to make. It's so thick and delicious I bet you'll never purchase the jarred stuff again!

Provided by Christina

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
1 lb lean ground turkey or beef (I use 93% lean ground turkey.)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (I prefer fire-roasted.)
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp garlic (minced)
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • Add oil to a skillet on the stove top. Heat to medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add the ground meat. Saute the meat, stirring occasionally, until browned. If your turkey or beef isn't very lean you may want to drain the grease. (I find that isn't necessary when using 93% lean.)
  • Reduce heat to medium low. Add canned crushed tomatoes, water, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to skillet with the meat. Stir to combine. Cover and gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until everything is heated through and flavors have married.
  • Serve over your favorite pasta, spaghetti squash (see my recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash), or zoodles. You can even add it to the top of roasted veggies for a satisfying but light meal!

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a burst of flavor to spaghetti sauce.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: Spaghetti, linguine, and penne are all great choices.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can make a delicious and flavorful spaghetti sauce that will be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
