From: My Mom used to make the most killer lasagna when we were growing up. She got it from a family friend. One day I realized that the meat sauce in that lasagna would also make an amazing spaghetti sauce and it just happened that it was really easy too. I never did find another meat sauce that compares to this one!
Ingredients:
1 lb of ground beef
1/2 onion chopped finely
16 oz can tomato sauce
12 oz can tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp basil
2 tsp dried parsley flakes
2 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
How to:
Brown the meat and onions in a skillet. Then add the tomato sauce and tomato paste and water. Mix well and then lower heat to a simmer. Add the spices and continue to simmer on low eat until you're ready to eat. Makes enough for a 1 to 1.5 lbs pasta.
Side Notes:
The original recipe calls for two cups of water but I like my sauce super thick and chunky, so I omitted a lot of the water.
