HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE

RESTAURANT STYLE SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large heated skillet or saucepot add olive oil and sausage. Saute sausage on both sides until it browns.
• When the sausage has browned add the diced onion and chopped garlic. Continue cooking until the onions are translucent, but do not allow them to burn!
• Add crushed tomatoes, rinse cans with just a little water and add to the sauce (if crushed tomatoes are not available use whole tomatoes and crush by hand or with an immersion blender).
• add chopped basil, sea salt and black pepper to taste (don't over season, you can always add more later). If you choose to add sugar now is the time to add it.
• After your sauce has reached a boil, reduce the heat to simmer and continue to cook for at least two hours. If you've got the time let it simmer for 4-6 hours for an amazingly rich tomato sauce.

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.
