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 CANNED SPAGHETTI SAUCE
I found this recipe in a cookbook published by a family from my hometown. I have never prepared this recipe. I am posting it in response to a request. I'm sorry that I can't be more exact about how many tomatoes. The original recipe calls for 1/2 bushel and I don't know how many lbs, etc. that would be. I do know that it's 16 Quarts. I don't know how much time is involved in the preparation of this recipe. I think you could brown some ground beef or make some meatballs when you open a jar of this sauce or simply use it as is for a meatless meal. NOTE: After the recipe was reviewed, I looked at the amount of salt called for. I agree that it's probably way too much. I would think that you could probably use 1/4 cup of salt and it would be just fine, so I edited the recipe to reflect this change.

ENHANCE THAT JAR OF SPAGHETTI SAUCE
I never have enough sauce from just a jar alone. I also like the taste of fresh ingredients. I like to combine both in this recipe! The red wine makes all the difference. Serve on favorite noodles with mozzarella cheese and mushrooms on top.

- Choose a high-quality canned spaghetti sauce: Look for brands that use fresh, ripe tomatoes and simple, flavorful ingredients. Avoid sauces that contain added sugar or excessive amounts of salt.
- Enhance the flavor with fresh ingredients: Sauté some chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper in a pan with olive oil until softened. Add the canned sauce and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can also add fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme for extra flavor.
- Add some protein: Cook some ground beef, Italian sausage, or diced chicken and add it to the sauce. This will make the dish more hearty and satisfying.
- Don't forget the cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese is a classic addition to spaghetti sauce. You can also use mozzarella, cheddar, or ricotta cheese, depending on your preference.
- Serve over your favorite pasta: Spaghetti is the traditional choice, but you can also use penne, macaroni, or any other type of pasta you like.
