• 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...)

• 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.

EASY HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pan heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the onions, garlic, and finely grated carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened.
• Add the crushed tomatoes and about 1/2 cup water. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in oregano, paprika, crushed pepper flakes, if using. Finally, stir in the fresh basil and parsley.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check partway through, and if you feel the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more water (preferably some of your pasta cooking water). When sauce is ready, throw in more fresh basil, if you like.
• If serving for dinner, add cooked pasta of your choice to the sauce. Mix to combine and let the pasta cook in the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.
