Dads Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot.
• Add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Do not let the garlic burn.
• Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously so that a relatively smooth consistence is reached.
• Add sausages and meatballs and stir until the meat is coated.
• Add a splash of red wine, then the sugar according to taste.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for a minimum of 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
• Serve by ladling over cooked pasta.
• Tip: It's not in the movie, but a teaspoon each of basil and oregano is suggested.
• Tip 2: If you're using canned whole tomatoes, draining them and then crushing them by hand will result in a chunky sauce. Canned crushed tomatoes will create a slightly thinner sauce, while canned chopped tomatoes will result in a thicker sauce.
