MOM'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mom's Spaghetti Sauce image

A great sauce for any pasta dish, I usually leave the meats out for most baked dishes. This recipe came to me from my Mother, a full-blooded Italian-American, with a few minor additions/changes by me. I have never found a recipe that I like as much, but then I am probably biased. Cook time is 1 to 8 hours depending on how long you have. Mom used to cook it all day. I like to go at least two hours, but I have spent as little as 45 minutes on the cook time.

Categories     Sauces

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 stalks celery
1 large onion
2 -4 cloves garlic (or 2-4 tablespoons of diced garlic from the jar You can adjust to taste.)
3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste (I prefer Contadina)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans tomatoes (Use what you prefer, but I like the diced Italian Seasoning type)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb stewing beef, cut in cubes (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil (can use vegetable oil if you prefer)
4 -8 ounces sliced mushrooms (optional)
2 -4 ounces black olives, chopped or sliced (optional)
1 bell pepper (optional)
oregano
thyme
sweet basil
rosemary
cumin
italian seasoning, can be used in place of the above spices
bay leaf
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
garlic powder
onion powder
salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut celery and onion (and bell pepper if used) as fine as you prefer.
  • If you like chunky style sauce make the pieces bigger, I like mine chopped fairly small.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tblspn of oil, when oil is hot (not smoking) add celery and stirfry.
  • As celery begins to clarify, add onion (and bell pepper, if used) and stirfry until it begins to glaze, add chopped garlic, stir for a short time (don't let anything begin to brown).
  • If using meat, add ground beef or stew beef and brown, stirring regularly, adjust heat to make sure nothing burns.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Transfer to a larger pot (if you have a good sized pot that you can brown in, you can just start with that instead of using the skillet.).
  • Stir in tomato paste and cook until the color darkens.
  • Stir in tomatos and tomato sauce.
  • Add spices (Italian seasoning or individual spices) to taste.
  • Add 3 Bay Leaves.
  • Stir in mushrooms and/or black olives and crushed red pepper, if desired.
  • Stir in 1-2 cans of water (I use the tomato paste, tomato and tomato paste cans to get the leavings out of them.).
  • Adjust heat to simmer.
  • Let cook for at least 1 hour, longer if you can, and stir regularly.
  • Check spice to taste and add what you want.
  • You can cook this for a little while or for a longer time.
  • I prefer at least 2 hours to give all the spices a chance to blend well.
  • But it can be cooked for as little as a half hour.
  • If you want it to cook for a long time, monitor the thickness and add water as needed.
  • Don't forget to remove the Bay Leaves before serving.
  • Some people like to add a pinch of sugar to cut the acidity, but I believe that the Bay Leaves accomplish this and have never used sugar.
  • When done, serve over or mix with the cooked pasta of your choice.
  • Add grated parmissan if desired.
  • Also individuals can add crushed red pepper to their own servings, for those who like it a little spicier.
  • If making a baked dish such as Lasagna, Ziti, etc.
  • you may want to make the sauce a little thinner (add water) to start with.

MOM'S BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mom's Best Spaghetti Sauce image

A simple, slow cooked, authentic spaghetti sauce, as good as the restaurants serve...or better! The secret ingredient is baking soda, but do not taste the sauce right after adding it. Wait a while, and this sauce will not disappoint you. It is good right from the stove, but the flavors blend overnight. Best served with your favorite meatball recipe, where the meatballs cook in the sauce the last half hour. Be prepared to take a nap after eating.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many tomatoes to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the sauce will be watery.

  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the sauce is flavorful but not overpowering.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, linguine, and penne are all great choices.
