Does anyone have a really good homemade spaghetti sauce recipe that they would like to share. Could you also include the amounts used of everything (including spices or herbs), and how much sauce it makes?
If you look under recipes and then sauces you will find many recipes for what you are looking for. I have posted an excellent recipe for spagetti sauce there.
Here's some recipes from the archive...

This is super simple. I think Hunt's brand just tastes best.
1 can Hunt's sauce (15 oz.)
1 can water using sauce can
1 can Hunt's paste (around 10 oz.)
1/2 T. basil (fresh is better -- 6 med. leaves)
1/2 T. oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Put in crock pot on low and let simmer most of the day or hi for 3-4 hrs. You can add browned meat if you want, but my family has actually found the purity of the vegetarian version more tasty.
Has anyone ever added a can of beef broth as one of the ingredients when making homemade italian spaghetti sauce? I saw a couple recipes that included beef broth as part of the recipe.
I was going to try it, but didn't want to take a chance on maybe ruining the recipe? Thanks for replies!I had just enough left over spaghetti sauce until I found out we were having an extra guest. No problem, I was able to improvise on the spot with fresh tomatoes and onions.
Does anyone have a good recipe for making Italian spaghetti sauce, including the amount Of spices, or herbs to use. I would like to make about 2 quarts. I know spices and herbs are a personal choice, but if I could get some idea as to the approximate amount to use, I could probably adjust it to my taste. Thanks for all replies.
I cook up a pound of ground Italian sausage with an onion and then drain and blot with paper towels. I then add a small can of mushrooms, a cut red pepper, and about 1 - 2 tsp of dried Italian seasoning (or you could use half oregano and half basil). I also add two garlic cloves as I like garlic. I use the canned spaghetti sauce (Hunts) as a base and add diced tomatoes to that. I like to simmer for awhile to blend the flavors. I've also cooked it in my crockpot all afternoon. There's no science to making it so just add stuff until it tastes good to you. If you like more garlic, add more, if you like things hot add a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. I've never had a bad batch yet. Have fun!

This spaghetti sauce recipe is a huge hit with my family and friends. It makes 4 quarts, tho. You may freeze or can.
Spaghetti Sauce
1/2 Cup Salad oil
4 med. garlic minced
4 small onions diced
Cook 10 min.
Add:
2 tbsp. parsley flakes
2 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. fennel seeds
2-12 oz cans tomato paste
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp oregano
2 tsp. basil
2 bay leaves.
16 tomatoes peeled (I blanch them to make the peeling process easier)
Simmer 2 hours covered. Throw out bay leaves. I like to put the sauce in a blender before putting in jars or freezer bags. (my family doesn't like the stringy tomato texture)
I usually buy the jarred organic pasta sauce (25 ounce size), add 1 small can tomato paste and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground anise seed. Let it simmer at least 20 mins., stirring occasionally (and keep the lid on so it doesn't splatter the stove).
Where we live, Dallas, TX, good tomatoes are hard to find in the grocery store and expensive.
A friend many years ago once made pasta sauce from scratch and complained bitterly that she spent $12 on the tomatoes alone and it wasn't that tasty after all.
Here's a couple recipes I got from "Top Secret Recipes":
Ragu Meat Sauce
2 oz Ground Beef, browned and drained
29 0z can Tomato Sauce
5 tsp Granulated Sugar
4 tsp Olive Oil
1 &frac; tsp minced Dried Onion
1 &frac; tsp shredded Romano
1/8 tsp ground Black Pepper
1 Bay Leaf
Ragu Tomato, Basil & Italian Cheese Sauce
29 oz can Tomato Sauce
&frac; cup canned, diced Tomatoes
5 tsp granulated Sugar
1 Tblsp Olive Oil
1 Tblsp shredded Romano
1 tsp Parmesan
1 tsp dried Basil
&frac; tsp dried Parsley
&frac; tsp Garlic Powder
1/8 tsp Black Pepper
1 Bay Leaf
After starting the pasta, I realized I didn't have any seasoning packets or jars of sauce, so I decided to try making one of my own. We liked it so well I decided to share it.
The seasonings give it the best flavor! Brown meat and garlic; drain well. Saute vegetables, except carrot, in olive oil. Combine everything and simmer about 3-4 hours, stirring frequently.
