Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and stir for 15 seconds. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until brick red, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes with their juices, the sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pot and continue to simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer.
- Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the meat, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until it browns, about 5 minutes. Stir the meat into the sauce and continue to simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the flavors have blended, about 1 hour. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick. Stir the Parmesan into the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Serve over hot pasta with extra cheese for topping.
MOM'S BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE
A simple, slow cooked, authentic spaghetti sauce, as good as the restaurants serve...or better! The secret ingredient is baking soda, but do not taste the sauce right after adding it. Wait a while, and this sauce will not disappoint you. It is good right from the stove, but the flavors blend overnight. Best served with your favorite meatball recipe, where the meatballs cook in the sauce the last half hour. Be prepared to take a nap after eating.

Steps:
- Mix together whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, mushrooms, onions, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper, basil, and 1 pinch of baking soda in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for 4 hours minimum.
- Stir in another pinch of baking soda; the sauce will foam. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and almost brown. Make sure to scrape the sides of the pan in to the sauce.
- After the sauce is fork consistency, stir in Parmesan cheese. Watch that the cheese does not burn. Taste sauce. If it is too tangy or acidic, add another pinch of baking soda and simmer another 1/2 hour.
- Cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, reheat and serve.

MY MOM'S BEST MEAT LOAF
The Rice Krispies used in this recipe are my mom's secret ingredient. While they may seem odd or out of place, they help hold the meat loaf together. And once they are cooked, no one realizes they're even there. -Kelly Simmons, Hopkinsville, Kentucky

MOM'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE
A great sauce for any pasta dish, I usually leave the meats out for most baked dishes. This recipe came to me from my Mother, a full-blooded Italian-American, with a few minor additions/changes by me. I have never found a recipe that I like as much, but then I am probably biased. Cook time is 1 to 8 hours depending on how long you have. Mom used to cook it all day. I like to go at least two hours, but I have spent as little as 45 minutes on the cook time.

Steps:
- Cut celery and onion (and bell pepper if used) as fine as you prefer.
- If you like chunky style sauce make the pieces bigger, I like mine chopped fairly small.
- In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tblspn of oil, when oil is hot (not smoking) add celery and stirfry.
- As celery begins to clarify, add onion (and bell pepper, if used) and stirfry until it begins to glaze, add chopped garlic, stir for a short time (don't let anything begin to brown).
- If using meat, add ground beef or stew beef and brown, stirring regularly, adjust heat to make sure nothing burns.
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a larger pot (if you have a good sized pot that you can brown in, you can just start with that instead of using the skillet.).
- Stir in tomato paste and cook until the color darkens.
- Stir in tomatos and tomato sauce.
- Add spices (Italian seasoning or individual spices) to taste.
- Add 3 Bay Leaves.
- Stir in mushrooms and/or black olives and crushed red pepper, if desired.
- Stir in 1-2 cans of water (I use the tomato paste, tomato and tomato paste cans to get the leavings out of them.).
- Adjust heat to simmer.
- Let cook for at least 1 hour, longer if you can, and stir regularly.
- Check spice to taste and add what you want.
- You can cook this for a little while or for a longer time.
- I prefer at least 2 hours to give all the spices a chance to blend well.
- But it can be cooked for as little as a half hour.
- If you want it to cook for a long time, monitor the thickness and add water as needed.
- Don't forget to remove the Bay Leaves before serving.
- Some people like to add a pinch of sugar to cut the acidity, but I believe that the Bay Leaves accomplish this and have never used sugar.
- When done, serve over or mix with the cooked pasta of your choice.
- Add grated parmissan if desired.
- Also individuals can add crushed red pepper to their own servings, for those who like it a little spicier.
- If making a baked dish such as Lasagna, Ziti, etc.
- you may want to make the sauce a little thinner (add water) to start with.

MY MAMA'S MEAT SAUCE
This is probably the first thing that I ever learned to cook. My mother used to cook it while I took a nap as a child, and the smell would wake me up. It's really garlicky and the wine gives it a nice flavour. It also freezes really well. Enjoy!
