Homemade Chunky Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic powder, sugar, parsley, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low, cover saucepan, and simmer until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Get a skillet deep enough to hold the contents and the liquid of the sauce. Remember that the veggies will cook down so you need not use a pot unless you are doubling the recipe
• Quarter your mushrooms.
• Use about ½ a green pepper. You may use more or less depending on your taste for green pepper.
• Chunk the onion. Kind of like strips then cut the strips in half. This gives the sauce a great flavor.
• Heat your pan and add the olive oil. Make sure that the olive oil covers the bottom of the pan.
• Add your onion and sauté until they are almost clear.
• Add your green pepper and sauté until they are almost soft.
• Add your mushrooms and sauté until they are almost soft.
• If you are using zucchini, add now. This will take awhile to cook down so be patient.
• At this point you may need to add more oil or butter.
• When your veggies are at a good constancy, add 1-2 cans of diced tomatoes, 2 cans of sliced black olives, 2 pinches of dried basil, and the jalapeno or red pepper if you chose to use.
• Cover and let simmer for 30-45 minutes on low.
• Start cooking linguine
• By the time the linguine is done, so should be your sauce.
• Drain and serve linguine and cover with sauce.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and pork over medium heat until no longer pink; drain., Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes, water, tomato paste, vegetables, sugar, garlic and seasonings. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until vegetables are tender. Serve with pasta.

Steps:

• 1. Prep and cut veggies into smaller portions.
• 2. FOOD PROCESSOR WORKS WELL TO CHOP VEGGIES.
• 3. Melt butter in large deep pot and then add in the chopped processed veggies. Cook about 8-10 minutes, until vegetables become translucent.
• 4. These are the main ingredients for the sauce.
• 5. Once the vegetables become translucent, add in the diced tomatoes, and the tomatoe paste. Then stir until the paste blends well into the diced tomato mixture. You may also add canned mushrooms if desired. My daughter does not care for them so I did not use any.
• 6. Add in both diced tomato cans filled with water. Then add in the black pepper, pepper flakes and nutmeg,brown sugar, bay leaves, then stir till blended. Be sure to lower the heat and allow sauce to simmer. May add in the grated Parmesan cheese at this point, or wait until just before you are ready to serve. I like to allow the flavor of the cheese to blend together with the sauce. Bring sauce to a simmer, then lower heat, and allow to continue to cook on low heat.
• 7. Continue to cook on low, taste and adjust seasoning if desired. I added in the precooked meat balls at this point and allowed to continue cooking. The longer you cook the sauce the more intensified the flavors become. Continue to stir often to prevent sauce from sticking. Serve sauce over your favorite pasta, and extra Parmesan cheese on the side with a salad and garlic Bread if desired.
