GREAT GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Brown meat and Italian sausage (break it up as you stir it. You may want to heat up a little olive oil (about 2 minutes) before adding the meat...)
• Add chopped onions to the meat mixture and continue cooking. Stir occasionally until onions are softened.
• Next, add your diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce.
• Next, mix in the spices, sugar, and garlic.
• Once your sauce is cooking (bring to a boil), add your wine and water.
• Simmer on low (stir often) for an hour.
• Optional: Let it simmer for an additional 3-4 hours, just to let the flavors combine even more.

ONE-PAN PASTA

Steps:

• Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, red-pepper flakes, basil, oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and water in a large straight-sided skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil mixture, stirring and turning pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, divide among 4 bowls, and garnish with basil. Serve with oil and Parmesan.

GRANDMA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour tomato sauce and tomato paste into the pot; season with pepper. Stir in tomato puree and ketchup. Add brown sugar, mustard, celery salt, onion salt, and garlic salt, stirring after each addition.
• Simmer sauce over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until flavors combine, 30 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

GRANDMA'S ONE PAN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Start by browning the hamburger with the onion, green pepper and mushrooms. ( I use a lid to get the peppers and onions soft).
• Next, after the meat is brown, the onion and green peppers are soft and the mushrooms have cooked, add the ketchup and tomato juice.
• Break your spaghetti noodles into thirds, add and stir GENTLY into the sauce.
• Cover and cook stirring about ever 5-10 minutes for about 30-45 minutes, or until the noodles are done.
• HINT: You may want to start off by not using all the tomato juice from the can. I usually find that the more noodles you use the more juice you need. I like mine filled with noodles so I always use much more.
