WORLD'S BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE image

World's Best Spaghetti Sauce Ever from The Bewitchin' Kitchen. Filled with savory meats and vegetables. This is sure to be a hit!

Provided by The Bewitchin Kitchen

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1.5 lbs extra lean ground beef (2 lbs if not using hot italian sausage)
1 lb Hot Italian Sausage (casings removed)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 large onion (diced)
1 green bell pepper (diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup white wine (beef broth works too)
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2 can tomato paste (4 oz can)
1 jar marinara sauce (I like Safeway O Organics)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 - 1 tsp tsp crushed red pepper (start small and increase the heat by taste)
2 tbsp dried parsley
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large pot, over medium heat, cook up your beef and hot italian sausage. When the meat is cooked, drain the meat and set aside (I leave it sitting in a colander over the sink).
  • Heat up the olive oil and add the onion and green pepper. Saute until the onion is soft (about 4-5 minutes) and then add the garlic. Give it a good stir for another minute or two (until fragrant).
  • Add the wine (doesn't matter what kind I have used Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and even Moscato) and reduce for about two minutes.
  • Next up is the crushed tomatoes, paste, jar of marinara, oregano, thyme, sugar, bay leaves, crushed pepper flakes, and salt. I usually stir this together and let simmer a few minutes.
  • Add the meat. Stir and put a lid on.
  • Let this simmer on low - medium/low for at least an hour. If you can get away for longer, do it.
  • After your hour is up, add the parmesan cheese and parsley. Stir and simmer for another thirty minutes.
  • Serve with desired pasta (or spaghetti squash) and top with more parmesan cheese.

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.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (14.5 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
4 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
3 cups water
4 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons white sugar
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 pinches baking soda
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Mix together whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, mushrooms, onions, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper, basil, and 1 pinch of baking soda in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for 4 hours minimum.
  • Stir in another pinch of baking soda; the sauce will foam. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and almost brown. Make sure to scrape the sides of the pan in to the sauce.
  • After the sauce is fork consistency, stir in Parmesan cheese. Watch that the cheese does not burn. Taste sauce. If it is too tangy or acidic, add another pinch of baking soda and simmer another 1/2 hour.
  • Cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, reheat and serve.

THE BEST HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE EVER. PERIOD.



The Best Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Ever. Period. image

When I found my Taste of Home magazine in my mailbox, I was excited to try this slow cooker recipe for "Stamp of Approval Spaghetti Sauce" Orginally submitted by Melissa Taylor of Higley AZ. This sauce is the best stuff I have ever tasted- there is no comparison in taste between store bought and this! Everyone that I made it for, my hubby, son, sister, mom and dad loved it and I (shamefully) ate 2 bowls full of plain sauce before serving! Just try it. Notice- It makes a BIG crock pot full of sauce!

JO MAMA'S WORLD FAMOUS SPAGHETTI



Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti image

My kids will give up a steak dinner for this spaghetti. It is a recipe I have been perfecting for years and it is so good (if I may humbly say) that my kids are disappointed when they eat spaghetti anywhere else but home! In fact they tell me I should open a restaurant and serve only this spaghetti and garlic bread. In response to requests, I have posted the recipe for Recipe #28559 that uses approximately 1/2 of the sauce from this recipe. Have spaghetti one night and lasagna later! Thanks to all of you who have tried my recipe and have written a review. I read and appreciate every one of them! Chef Note: After I posted this recipe I remembered a funny incident--my dear husband usually has a nice bottle of wine handy so when I make a batch of spaghetti I just help myself to a splash of it. On one occasion, there wasn't a bottle opened, but there was a bottle sitting on the counter so I got out the corkscrew and helped myself. For some reason, the spaghetti that night was the best ever. My husband asked what wine I put in it and I showed him the bottle. He nearly fell off the chair. I had opened a rather expensive bottle he had bought to give his boss. Goes to show you--don't use a wine for cooking you wouldn't drink. You get the best results from a good wine!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 quarts, 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs Italian sausage, casings removed (mild or hot)
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups water (for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less)
3 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine (a good Cabernet!)
1 lb thin spaghetti
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
  • Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
  • Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
  • Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
  • Stir in red wine.
  • Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
  • Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right tomatoes is crucial for a flavorful sauce. Look for ripe, fresh tomatoes with vibrant color and no bruises. San Marzano tomatoes are a popular choice due to their low acidity and rich flavor.
  • Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme add depth and complexity to the sauce. Incorporate them towards the end of cooking to preserve their delicate flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the meat. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and releasing its juices, resulting in a less flavorful sauce.
  • Simmering the sauce for an extended period allows the flavors to meld and develop. Aim for at least 30 minutes of simmering, or even longer if time permits.
  • Taste the sauce throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasoning accordingly. A balance of acidity, sweetness, and saltiness is key to a well-rounded flavor profile.

Conclusion:

Creating the best homemade spaghetti sauce requires careful selection of ingredients, attention to technique, and a touch of patience. By following these tips and experimenting with different combinations of herbs, spices, and vegetables, you can elevate your spaghetti sauce to a culinary masterpiece that will impress your family and friends. Whether you prefer a classic tomato-based sauce, a rich meat-based ragu, or a flavorful vegetarian option, the possibilities are endless. So grab your apron, gather your ingredients, and embark on a delicious journey into the world of homemade spaghetti sauce!
