Spaghetti Sauce for 4

Ingredients:
1 Large Yellow (Vidalia) Onion - Diced
3-5 Large gloves of garlic - Minced (Use as much garlic as you want)
1 cup of Celery - Diced
1 medium carrot - Diced
1 Red Pepper - Diced
1-2 lbs of Italian Sausage - you can use ground or links.
(I like to mix Sweet and Medium to hot sausage.)
- You can also use a mix of meats like veal or pork neck bone
1 8 oz can of Tomato Sauce
1 6 oz can of Tomato Paste
1 14 oz can of Diced Tomatoes
Olive oil

Spices you will need:
Oregano, Italian Seasoning, Basil, Bay Leafs, Pepper, Salt (optional),
Sweet Hungarian Paprika (optional), Parsely (Optional)

Steps:

1. In large saucepot put in Olive oil and brown the sausage over medium heat.
2. Once the sausage is browned remove it from the pot.
3. Add all your vegetables and garlic to the pot and 1 tablespoon each of Oregano, Italian
seasoning, Basil, Pepper, and 1 bay leaf.
4. Cook the vegetables over medium heat until soft. Usually about 10-15 minutes. Stirring occasionally
5. Once vegetables are soften add the meat, tomato sauce, tomato paste and diced tomatoes to pot.
6. Stir. Add optional 1 Tbsp paprika if you would like. If the sausage you got ends up being too spicy
you can use sweet paprika to tame it a little bit.
At this point you can also add a cup of wine or chicken stock if you want.
6. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer for AT LEAST 5-6 hours.
Make sure it is low, but still simmering. You don't want to burn the bottom. Also, if you want a
thicker sauce leave the lid off, if you want a thinner sauce leave the lid on.
7. 1.5 hours before serving remove the sauce from heat and re-add 1 Tablespoon of Oregano, Italian
Seasoning and Basil. Let stand off heat for an hour then reheat 30 minutes before serving.
8. Cook your pasta noodles al-dente
9. VERY IMPORTANT: After noodles are done and rinsed under water, readd to the pot you cooked the noodles
in and add 1 cup of the sauce to the noodles over low heat and stir until noodles are coated. Let stand
for 5 minutes.
10. Serve pasta with sauce (make sure the sauce is heated up) over it.

five to six HOURS? I said God DAMN that's some thick ass sauce... sounds great! can i come for dinner?

Sure, I made it this weekend

The longer you let it cook, the better it gets. The important part is to take it off the heat an hour before eating and readd the oregano, Italian seasoning and basil and let it stand.

If you want a thicker sauce, keep the lid off, if not, keep lid on

If I have to make sauce I just use some tomato paste, water, and throw in a bunch of spices until it tastes good

I'm sure this would be much much better though.

Or you could just boil some noodles and throw some ketchup on them!

I keep it very simple:

Two Large cans of Whole Italian Plum Tomatoes
One/Two Cloves of Minced Fresh Garlic
Fresh Ground Pepper
Salt to taste
Hand Full of Fresh Basil (1/2 Cup, Loose Pack)
Table spoon or two of chopped fresh flat parsley

Heat olive oil in pan and mash the garlic in until pulverized...do not brown...Break the tomatoes up by hand and then add to the garlic & oil...Add salt & Pepper and half the herbs...Bring to boiling temperature...Your Done!

Do not overcook, acid & seeds in tomatoes can make the sause bitter.

Add Extra Virgin after you are done heating (as heating extra virgin makes the oil unvirgin)

Add the rest of your herbs and check for salt & Pepper just before serving.

This sause is good on it's own or add onion, oregano, any meat, veggies, heavy cream, etc.
