There is something very special about making your own spaghetti sauce. It smells great when you are cooking it and certainly taste better then one you get straight out of jar. To make a good spaghetti sauce, you need a good number of ingredients as you will see in this recipe. But it is worth it – let me know if you agree after you have taken the effort.

And just a little hint – put the leftovers into a Ziplock bag and freeze it – its great defrosted as well!

Homemade Spaghetti Meat Sauce:

2 tablespoon of olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup of chopped onion

1/2 cup of chopped celery

2/3 cups of sliced mushrooms

2 tablespoons of chopped parsley

1/2 cup of chopped green pepper

1 lb. of ground beef

1/2 lb. of ground pork

1-28 oz. can of tomatoes

1 cup of water

1-8 oz. of tomato paste

1-3-1/2 oz. can of tomato paste

1 tablespoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of paprika

1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

1-1/2 teaspoon of basil

1/2 teaspoon of oregano

1/2 teaspoon of pepper

1 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon of crushed chillies

16 oz. of spaghetti

Saute vegetable in oil until onion is golden. Add beef and pork and cook until lightly browned. Add remaining ingredients. mix and simmer for about 2 hours. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Pour sauce over spaghetti and if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Note: If more liquid is needed, add water.

      I believe that’s a typo and really should be 1x 8 ounce can of tomato paste (8 ounces of sauce would be an odd addition!). I’m sure Hanna will comment and let us know, but I’m pretty sure that’s it :)
