    Default Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

    I usually just use a jar but if I want to make alot for a bigger recipe to freeze for later I do this:

    Start with canned tomatoes, sauteed onions and garlic, a can of broth, beef or chicken, italian spices, and simmer for at least an hour. Then add a jar of your favorite jar sauce.

    Sounds good. I always wanted to know how to make my own sauce from scratch but I've heard it takes a LONG time. Would your recipe be ok without the added jar?

    Mama22qts I have only ever made my own sauce from scratch. I never add any jarred sauce. Just last night my 9 yr. old asked for pasta and sauce for dinner since it is one of his favorites. So I whipped up some sauce and start to table it was 35 minutes. It does taste better if you cook it longer but I'm talking 60-90 minutes not all day. One time I made sauce right before going to bed and then put it into the crock pot so it could cook all night- 5 minuted then the crock pot.
    BTW I bought a jar of sauce(a good brand) for just in case. One night I was really tired, DH was working and DS wanted pasta. So I thought what the heck I'll fix that jar of sauce. I didn't mention it to DS and when he took his first bite he got a horrid look on his face and wanted to know what was wrong with the sauce! He refused to eat it and I have never bought a jar since!!

    Well, I add the jar of sauce because sometimes my own tastes a little acidy, I think from canned tomatoes, and not as sweet. My favorite of all is Ragu, Garlic and herb. And I fix it often by itself. But, I add canned to stretch the sauce and have more of it, and it tastes good.

    If you start from fresh tomatoes not canned, I bet it comes out the best. I've never tried that.

    Mix in a 8qt kettle
    4-5 small cans tomato paste
    1 large can tomato puree
    1 clove of garlic crushed
    1t oregano
    1T parsley
    1t basil
    1 bay leaf
    1t salt
    1T pepper
    2T sugar
    5 T parmesan cheese
    Fill the kettle with water to within 1-2 inches from the top of the kettle. Let cook for about 20 minutes before adding meat.

    Meatballs..
    2 lbs ground beef
    2 eggs
    salt & pepper to taste
    1t oregano
    1T parsley
    1/2 t basil
    1 clove crushed garlic
    3T parmesan cheese
    1 cup breadcrumbs

    Mix and form meatballs, you could brown them but I just add to the sauce raw because they cook though fine that way. I also add browned hot italian sausage links to the sauce and skim the fat that may raise to the surface as the sauce is cooking. Simmer sauce for 4 hours stirring often.
