Chicago Style Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

SPAGHETTI SAUCE (EASY ITALIAN STYLE WITH 6 INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• Crush the garlic with the flat side of a knife.
• Bring the extra virgin olive oil (and lard, if using) to medium high heat, then add the garlic and chopped parsley.
• After a minute, add the ground beef and break up with a wooden spoon. Add some salt, and cook until it begins to dry up, then add the tomato passata/purèe/chopped tomatoes of your choice.
• If using Mutti, they tend to be thick, so add about ¾ cup (6 oz) of water or until the bottom line of the jar (shake to rinse) then add to the pot. If you're using another brand, rinse the can/jar with a little less water, unless it's very thick.
• Put the burner on high to bring the sauce to a simmer, and add more salt. Don't be afraid to add Kosher/sea salt as I can guarantee you will have much less sodium in this sauce than a jar of store-bought.
• Lower the heat so that the sauce simmers gently for about an hour, stirring occassionally (so that the sauce won't stick). Taste for seasoning after about 30 minutes, and add salt if needed.
• When the sauce is ready, check once again for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as desired, and a generous amount of fresh basil, torn into pieces.

THE BEST HOMEMADE CHICAGO PIZZA SAUCE EVER!

Steps:

• Stir all well. I use a whisk. Let sit for "a couple-two-tree" hours. What could be easier? You can use this for pasta sauce too with some meatballs and sausage. I put the raw meat in and gently simmer it for an hour or so. It gives the sauce a hearty flavor. You gotta try this one!

CHICAGO-STYLE ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. If you purchased link sausage, remove the sausage from its casing before you start the cooking process.
• 2. In a large stock pot, saute together the chopped onion, bell pepper and garlic along with the ground chuck and italian sausage. Once the meat has been browned, drain the excess fat off.
• 3. To the meat add the remainder of your ingredients. Cook covered over low heat for a good three hours, stirring often.
• 4. If you would rather make a meatless sauce, just eliminate the chuck and sausage. If you would rather use meatballs and pieces of link sausage, add them after the first hour of cooking.
• 5. FREEZES REALLY WELL! I usually take a Sunday and make a quadruple batch so I always have some in my freezer. Also makes great sauce for baked ziti and lasagne.
