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 BEST HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE EVER. PERIOD.
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 fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and fragrant garlic.
- Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds flavor and depth to the sauce. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't steam.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
- Add a touch of sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help to balance the acidity of the tomatoes and add a touch of sweetness to the sauce.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add flavor and complexity to the sauce. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: Spaghetti sauce is traditionally served over spaghetti, but it can also be served over other types of pasta, such as penne, macaroni, or fettuccine.
