Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
I am so happy to be able to share my Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipe with you. I believe this is one of those recipes that can change your life for the better. Of course this tomato sauce recipe is great over any type of macaroni. But you should know, this Italian Tomato Sauce is also perfect for pizza and pasta fagioli.
This Spaghetti Sauce Recipe is practically foolproof! Some people call this type of sauce "gravy", I call it "my Grandmother's sauce". Whatever you call it - I hope you love my homemade spaghetti sauce recipe as much as I do. This Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipe will produce 1 1/2 - 2 gallons of sauce. Be prepared to freeze it into multiple containers for future use.
Ingredients
Meatballs
Homemade Meatball Recipe
1-2 pounds Italian Sausage (Sweet or Hot or Both) 1-2 pounds Pork – Country Style Ribs 1-2 pounds Neck Bones (Optional) 2 cans (6 oz each) Tomato Paste 2 cans (1 lb each) Tomato Puree Salt and Pepper – 1/2 teaspoon each, if in doubt 2 tablespoons or more of Olive Oil
Method
Brown each type of meat separately. Start with Meatballs, then brown the other meats. Pour about a cup or so of water in your pan. Make it a 1/2 inch deep. When browning Pork, poke holes with a fork in each piece.
To make sure the Pork is cooked, cut a piece in half. It is not cooked if it is pink. If the water evaporates, add more, about a 1/2 cup.
After the meat is browned – remove to a large bowl.
Then pour the drippings into a large kettle.Repeat steps for each meat type. Brown, remove, pour water into kettle.
Note: If you don’t make the Meatballs, do this before you add the puree, add a couple of tablespoons of Olive Oil to the broth, and 2-3 chopped cloves of Garlic. Sauté. Then add puree, and continue.
When all the meat have browned, and all drippings are in the kettle, add the Tomato Paste to the kettle. Put the burner on low.
After you have emptied the Tomato Paste cans, fill them with water, then pour into kettle. Let this cook for a few minutes, until it is smooth. Stir often. Do exactly the same with the puree. Fill each can with water, so it can grab any leftover puree, and add it to the kettle.
Add 2 tablespoons (or a little more) of Olive Oil to kettle, and Salt and Pepper to taste. Simmer on low for a half hour. Stir occasionally.
Add all meats back to kettle, let simmer until thick, about 1 to 1˝ hours. Stir occasionally.
The Sauce is done! Now you can decide what you are going to do with it. Separate into thirds or fourths, then freeze, to use for future meals. Boil your favorite pasta and serve! Enjoy!
I highly recommend a delicious salad after the macaroni.
