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:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best sauce. Avoid tomatoes that are too acidic or watery.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds a rich, caramelized flavor to the sauce. Don't skip this step!
  • Simmer the sauce for a long time: The longer you simmer the sauce, the more time the flavors have to meld together. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer the sauce for up to 2 hours.
  • Add a little sugar: A pinch of sugar can help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. Don't add too much, though, or the sauce will be too sweet.
  • Season to taste: Taste the sauce as you're making it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta: Spaghetti sauce is delicious with any type of pasta, but it's especially good with spaghetti, penne, and rigatoni.

Conclusion:

Homemade spaghetti sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying sauce that will be a hit with your family and friends.
