ALL DAY VERSATILE SAUCE



All Day Versatile Sauce image

I have found that cooking your sauce all day like my father taught me is the best way. In addition to that, I make my sauce this way whether I am making linguine, stuffed shells or lasagna. I like to utilize convenience whenever possible so I use pre minced and jarred herbs. You can use what ever your preference is for meat, whether it be ground turkey meatballs or chicken Italian sausage. It will always be a hit with your family and friends! Try serving with your favorite pasta.

What a wonderfully thick sauce! It does, indeed, take all day to procure this delicious pasta topper, but it's well worth the time.

Time 8h

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 lb ground chuck
3/4 of a medium sized sweet (vidalia) onion, chopped
2 can(s) 14.5 oz each, petite diced tomatoes
1 can(s) (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can(s) (6 oz) tomato paste
water
1 pkg powdered spaghetti sauce spice mix (mccormick's or lawry's)
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3-4 clove garlic, (medium sized) finely diced or minced
2 tsp basil (dried) or fresh basil leaves finely chopped
1/2 tsp thyme, dried, or approx. 1 tblspn fresh thyme
1/4 tsp oregano, dried, or 1/2 tblspn fresh oregano, finely chopped/minced
3/4 tsp rosemary, dried, or 1/2 tblspn fresh rosemary, finely chopped/minced
1/8 tsp parsley flakes, dried, or 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped/minced
1/2 tsp tsp garlic salt
1 green bell pepper, medium sized, diced
8-16 oz mushrooms, fresh, sliced
2 green onions, with green stalks, thinly sliced
1 can(s) (2.25 oz) sliced black olives
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pkg (16 oz) thin spaghetti or similar pasta
parmigiano-reggiano, grated or shredded for topping when serving

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, brown the ground chuck over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook until there is no remaining pink color in beef. Drain off any liquids and set beef/onion mixture aside.
  • 2. In a large pot over medium heat, mix together the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste. (See tip below for flavored tomato products.) Stir until well mixed. Fill tomato paste can with water and then add that water to pot of tomato mixture. Then add in packaged spaghetti sauce spice mix and stir until well mixed. Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and stir. Add seasonings, stir well and heat until tomato mixture begins to bubble up/boil lightly. Reduce heat to just above simmer. Add in browned beef and onion mixture, and stir.
  • 3. Next, add in the sliced mushrooms, diced bell pepper and sliced green onions, including sliced stems. Stir, cover and simmer over low heat 5-7 hours, stirring occasionally... every half hour works best.(You can make this in a crockpot, but it doesn't work as well as the slow simmer and stir method.) When stirring, try and always stir up any sauce that is thickening and sticking to the bottom so it will keep the flavors enriching the whole pot of sauce.
  • 4. About 45 minutes before you plan to serve the meal: Add in the can of sliced black olives and stir.
  • 5. About 15 minutes before you plan to serve the meal: Turn the heat OFF under the pot, remove the lid and let it sit to thicken.
  • 6. Meanwhile, (as the sauce is thickening) bring a large pot of water to rapid boil. Boil pasta noodles according to directions on the package until "al dente". Drain and rinse quickly with cool water to stop the cooking process.
  • 7. Serve pasta with heaping ladles of sauce, top with grated cheese. Serve with a side salad and garlic bread. Note: Leftovers reheated in the microwave are even better the next day since the sauce thickens even more! (I like to make this on Saturday so my hubby can have leftovers all weekend while I relax.)
  • 8. HINT: When selecting the tomato sauce, tomato paste and petite diced tomatoes try using ones that are flavored with roasted garlic or basil or balsamic vinegar if they are available.

CHEF JOHN'S SUNDAY PASTA SAUCE



Chef John's Sunday Pasta Sauce image

This sauce goes by many names, including Sunday sauce, since that's the day it's traditionally made, but for me growing up, this was just called 'sauce.' As long as you cook the meat long enough, and season thoughtfully, there's really no way this sauce isn't going to be great. So, while you may not have grown up in an Italian-American home, with this comforting sauce simmering on the stove every Sunday, your family still can. Serve the sauce over pasta and top with the tender meat.

MY ALL DAY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



My All Day Spaghetti Sauce image

I'm posting this as a request of BoneMan. It's a good slow cooking sauce even better the next day. It does make a lot and freezes well. You can do a lot with the left overs. I'll post one of our favorites next. Feel free to add or omit anything. I tried real hard to measure it's usually a pinch of this and that, so amount are as close i can get, LOL. Along with the can tom I use tom out of the freezer from the summer garden that have been through the food mill and cooked down. I always have home made meatballs in the freezer so feel free to add your favorite m-ball recipe or store bought. Servings are a guess. Depends on what you do with it and how you freeze the left overs.

  • Add garlic cook 2 minutes careful not to burn.
  • Return meat to the pot.
  • Add tomato paste.
  • Cook for 2 minutes.

  • Add the cans of tomatoes stir to mix well. Add all your dry spices and brown sugar.
  • Bring to a soft boil, turn heat down to simmer.
  • Add your meatballs.
  • Use the chicken stock to thin as mine tends to get thick and bubble and spurt.
  • As it simmers all day stir to not burn. Keep on the heat. Add 1/4 cup of the stock at a time as needed.
  • Mine usually cooks 6-8 hours.
  • Serve with pasta of your choice, salad and crusty garlic bread.
