Spaghetti and Meat Sauce
Spaghetti and Meat Sauce is a recipe that everyone should have in their repertoire! This hearty, meaty sauce is always a hit with adults and kiddos alike.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage hot or mild
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1/3 cup red wine
- 1 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper as needed
- 1 pound dried spaghetti noodles
Instructions
- In a skillet or pot large enough to fit all of the sauce, add olive oil and Italian sausage. Cook over medium heat. Strain to remove oil and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of pan drippings.
- Add the onion and garlic. Cook until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Be sure to scrape up any yummy bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook 3 minutes.
- Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried basil and oregano. Return sausage to sauce. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper as needed. Cook for at least 1 hour, I sometimes like to cook it as long as 3 hours. (Note: I have had some experiences with some salty Italian sausage so I like to add my salt and pepper after the sausage has had time to cook in the sauce.)
- About 20 minutes before you are ready to eat. Start your pasta and cook according to package directions. Strain.
- Place pasta in a pasta bowl and top with sauce.
