(+) Yeah! (+)

Topic.

I usually just open up a can of tomato sauce and diced tomato, add a bunch of Italian seasoning and a fair amount of red pepper flakes and cook it down to the desired thickness

The godfather taught me to add a dash of sugar

Garlic, onion, oregano

How long does that take you? I've never made spaghetti sauce before. I found this recipe on Reddit and it looks really good.

Mine is quick and lazy but good, probably like 10 minutes. That recipe looks great tho

Damn i really did, but I don't have it anymore

Tomato sauce
Sugar
Butter
Diced onion
Minced garlic
Oregano

Boil/saute til thick

Maybe just try those and find the balance you want

I use a jar of Rao's Marinara, mixed with a can of Hunt's Meat sauce, add meat and season to taste. To me the combo of those two off the shelf sauces with a little doctoring up worked well.

I did try this one I found online for a Bolagnese sauce a few times. It's for Lasanga, but I tried it with Spaghetti too. I liked it, but it just called for a lot of ingredients and time.

1. Start by slicing the red bell peppers and cooking them in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes until they start to soften.
2. Add finely chopped onions or a shallot to the pan. Cook until they become translucent.
3. Incorporate sliced mushrooms and minced garlic into the mix, continuing to cook until the mushrooms are tender.
4. Stir in tomato paste to the vegetables, mixing well to combine.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and mix thoroughly.
6. Season the sauce with Italian herbs like oregano and thyme.
7. Finally, crumble a chicken bouillon cube into the sauce for added flavor.

Cook everything together until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remember to cook the sauce on a low to medium heat to prevent burning and to allow the flavors to meld together nicely. Keep stirring

Bon apptit!

Next post the outcome.

I tried putting chunks of tomato in before and that didn't turn out well for some reason.

For the sauce, I use canned tomatoes both crushed and diced if I don't feel like making my own puree.

First I like to roast the onions and garlic I use or you can toast it. Brings out the flavors that way.

I dice up the garlic, onions, colored peppers scotch bonnet (I like heat) and celery. Then I use two tablespoons of some neutral oil and fry them till translucent. I always fry the veggies first. I also season it too. I like to use seasoned cubes like Maggi for example. Once the season cube is properly infused with the veggies then I can introduce the meat. Ground Turkey or 93%/7% ground beef is what I like. The less oil or fat, the better so I don't have to drain it.

I like making a meat sauce, never cared for meatballs. I cook the grounded meat till it changes color and I taste the meat to see if it's seasoned enough. I then add in tomato paste and mix it with the meat and veggies. Then I mix in the diced and crushed tomatoes.

I'm cooking this all on a medium fire. I put in two two tablespoons of sugar to kill the acid taste of the tomato and I like it a little sweet as well as savory and then add in three bay leaves. Let it cook till about close to a boil and taste for flavor and I make adjustments if necessary. If I have the pasta already cooked, I save some of the pasta water and add it in the sauce. The starch helps it coat the pasta better.

After all that, I let the sauce simmer to reduce it and stir occasionally for another 20 mins.

I throw in the pasta and it's done.
