I looked forever for that perfect spaghetti sauce-years even....now I don't have to look any longer...I loved this sauce from that first taste test you do while cooking! Serve over hot spaghetti with salad and crusty french bread!

Ingredients
  • 3 Large Garlic Cloves-chopped as fine as possible
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
  • Fresh Mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 Large Onion
  • Oregano
  • Basil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 6 oz cans of tomato paste
  • 16 oz can of diced tomatoes-I like double the tomatoes so use 32 oz can
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Cajun Seasoning
  • Garlic Powder
  • 2 28 oz cans of Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup of red wine (optional)
  • 1 Teaspoon of Sugar
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • Spaghetti-cooked as directed by package (be sure to salt the water when boiling your noodles)

Directions
  1. Brown ground beef til beef is crumbly-drain and set aside.
  2. In large saucepan just cover bottom with olive oil.
  3. Place your garlic in your oil-let soak while you dice up your onion-do not heat yet!
  4. Place diced onion aside-heat the oil and garlic over medium heat-heat until you see bubbles around the garlic!
  5. When you see the bubbles around the garlic add your diced onion-lower heat to med-low.
  6. Simmer all of this for about 5 minutes-at this time add 1 tsp of Oregano, 1/2 tsp of basil-dash of salt and pepper.
  7. Add you two cans of tomato paste-fill up cans with water and to clean outside of can add to your onion and garlic in pot...mix up well-simmer for about 4 minutes, add now 1/2 tsp of oregano (you will be adding this all the way through) touch of salt and pepper again.
  8. After 4 minutes add your beef into your roux for your spaghetti sauce.
  9. Add your diced tomatoes-simmer for about 10 minutes-add 1 tsp of oregano, 1/2 tsp of basil, 1 1/2 tsp of fresh chopped parsley, a dash of cajun seasoning and 1/2 tsp of garlic pepper and throw in some black pepper.
  10. Keep stirring sauce-occasionally.
  11. Now add your 2 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes along with 1 tsp of parsley, 3 dashes of basil, 3 dashes of garlic powder-stir together well-keep at medium heat.
  12. Add your teaspoon of sugar and bay leaf at this point-mix well again.
  13. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes-if you wish you may add your 1/3 cup of red wine at th is point.
  14. I have found the longer this sauce simmers the better it tastes! Before serving remove your bay leaf. Serve over hot spaghetti!
