My Semi Homemade Meaty Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

SEMI-HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook while stirring until soft but not brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
• Add the ground beef to the pan and turn the heat up to medium high. Brown the meat while breaking it up with a spatula.
• Drain off the fat and discard (I do this by putting the lid over top then tilting it to empty the grease through a small crack into a coffee mug or other heat-proof container). Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the red wine to the pan (if using) and cook until almost completely boiled off.
• Pour in the sauce and bring to a light simmer.
• Serve over noodles and garnish with fresh basil or oregano and Parmesan cheese.

MY SEMI HOMEMADE MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven at 350 degrees. You will need a large, deep pan. Fry your ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off the fat. ***At the same time I boil my sausages for 10 minutes and then put them in a oven proof pan and bake them at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the outside is nice and brown. Turning them half way through. Once cooked, cut them into nice size chunks.
• 2. Add to your ground beef - the Ragu. All the jars. I put a little water in each jar, with the lid on and shake it and pour it into the pan to get all the sauce out. The water will cook out. Add the cut up sausage to the sauce.
• 3. Add to the sauce all of the rest of the ingredients and let simmer, stirring occasionally for at least an hour. I let it simmer for 2 hrs. If it looks too thick for you, add a little water to the sauce. Your house will smell amazing!
• 4. I love to serve this sauce over angel hair pasta and sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top plus I always serve garlic bread with it. YUM!!

Break it up with a wooden spoon, then add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the crushed tomatoes and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened and the flavors come together, about 1 hour.
• About 20 minutes before the sauce is done, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Drop in the pasta, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Remove from the heat, toss in the cheese and serve.
