The Easiest Homemade Spaghetti Sauce image

This rich spaghetti sauce is surprisingly easy to make. It's so thick and delicious I bet you'll never purchase the jarred stuff again!

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
1 lb lean ground turkey or beef (I use 93% lean ground turkey.)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (I prefer fire-roasted.)
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp garlic (minced)
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • Add oil to a skillet on the stove top. Heat to medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add the ground meat. Saute the meat, stirring occasionally, until browned. If your turkey or beef isn't very lean you may want to drain the grease. (I find that isn't necessary when using 93% lean.)
  • Reduce heat to medium low. Add canned crushed tomatoes, water, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to skillet with the meat. Stir to combine. Cover and gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until everything is heated through and flavors have married.
  • Serve over your favorite pasta, spaghetti squash (see my recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash), or zoodles. You can even add it to the top of roasted veggies for a satisfying but light meal!

SIMPLE PASTA SAUCE



Simple Pasta Sauce image

This is a simple pasta sauce that you can use for more than just spaghetti. Puree this recipe for pizza sauce or a great dipping sauce. I also like to make a variation for bruschetta by omitting the olive oil, using fire-roasted diced tomatoes and simply combining the uncooked ingredients. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving on toasts. -Deborah Markwood, Chester, Virginia

5 OF THE EASIEST PASTA SAUCES EVERY HOME COOK SHOULD KNOW
5-of-the-easiest-pasta-sauces-every-home-cook-should-know image

From thekitchn.com
  • Marinara. A simple tomato sauce will never go out of style. A can or two of good tomatoes, a lot of garlic, and a bit of fresh herbs, simmered together until your kitchen smells like an Italian restaurant, is effortless comfort food at its very best.
  • Ragù. Amp up that marinara sauce with ground meat and you’ve got a hearty ragù on your hands. The best meat sauces are simmered low and slow, so the juices from the meat have plenty of time to flavor the sauce.
  • Pesto. The bright, fresh mix of basil, garlic, olive oil, nuts, and cheese is an easy favorite. Knowing how to make a straightforward basil pesto will not only give you a quick pasta sauce to add to your repertoire, but also have something to dress up pizza, swipe on sandwiches, and even add to chicken salad.
  • Brown Butter. Brown butter is the one-ingredient pasta sauce that’s equal parts fast and fancy — it’s nutty, rich, and decadent. It comes together in minutes and makes just about any bowl of noodles feel a little fancy.
  • Alfredo. It’s hard to deny the pleasure of this classic cream sauce bolstered with butter and Parmesan. Don’t save decadent Alfredo sauce for a night at your local Italian restaurant — it’s quite simple to make at home and can be enjoyed as is or with a topping of chicken.

  • Heat the olive oil over high heat until it shimmers. Saute the onions, stirring frequently, until they soften and shine, about three minutes. The onions should sizzle and hiss as they cook. Add the garlic. Stir to combine. This prevents the garlic from burning. Cook an additional two minutes. Add the basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine. Add the butter. Stir, cook for about a minute.
  • Add 1/2 can of the crushed tomatoes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck on bits. Reduce heat to low. Add remaining tomatoes. Stir in 1/4 cup water. If the sauce seems too thick, add additional water.
  • Allow sauce to simmer for 10 minutes to up to one hour. If simmering for a longer, stir the sauce occasionally and add additional water as needed to keep the sauce at the correct consistency.
