Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 lb bulk italian sausage or wild game sauce (moose, venison)
2 medium onions...chopped
4 can(s) 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes (strained)
2 can(s) 8 ounce tomato sauce
2 can(s) 6 ounce tomato paste
2 bay leaves
2 Tbsp brown sugar
8 clove minced garlic
4 tsp dried basil
4 tsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp salt
2 tsp dried thyme

Steps:

1. In skillet, cook Italian or wild game sausage (ground beef if you choose) and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain (unless using wild game sausage where there will not be any meaningful liquid to drain)
2. Transfer to slow cooker (crockpot)
3. add the remaining ingredients and stir well to mix. Cover with bay leaves on top.
4. cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Take lid off slow cooker for the last hour to allow liquid to cook off...
5. discard bay leaves and serve over spaghetti/pasta...do not rinse the pasta as you will loose the starch (rinsing of pasta is not recommended)
6. We now sprinkle parm cheese on the plate before the pasta as a nice touch and to mop up any liquid separation from the sauce (although there will be none)...and of course parm cheese on top. Enjoy!

MAMA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Mama's Spaghetti Sauce image

My mom's standard spaghetti sauce recipe - loved by all. Half of a 28 oz can of Dei Fratelli tomato sauce is used in this recipe, simply because we prefer the brand. If you want to use a 14 1/2 - 15 oz can of another brand, that works too. (Dei Fratelli doesn't sell a smaller can.) This recipe is at it's absolute best the day after making it.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 lb ground sirloin
1 -2 link mild Italian sausage, removed from casing and broken into small bits
28 ounces petite diced tomatoes (Dei Fratelli)
0.5 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce (Dei Fratelli, plain)
6 ounces tomato paste
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 -2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 -3 bay leaves

Steps:

In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil, add the garlic and onion, and saute until onion is soft/translucent.
Add the ground sirloin and Italian sausage and cook until no longer pink.
Stir in the remaining ingredients, adding the bay leaves last so as not to break them up during stirring. Adjust the seasonings as needed to suit your taste.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat down to the lowest possible heat and let simmer for 2 hours covered with an offset lid.
Serve with cooked spaghetti and parmesan cheese.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned whole tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
Don't skip the onions and garlic: These two ingredients add a lot of flavor to the sauce. Be sure to chop them finely so that they cook evenly.
Brown the meat: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough. Be sure to drain off any excess grease before adding the meat to the sauce.
Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Mama Palomba's spaghetti sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for spaghetti, meatballs, lasagna, and anything else you can think of. With its rich flavor and simple ingredients, this sauce is sure to become a favorite in your home.
