Typically, we buy a jar of sauce (Victoria's is a good one) and call it a day. However, we were feeling adventurous and decided to make our own sauce this time. It was super easy and inexpensive. Before I get into our homemade spaghetti sauce "recipe", I want to warn you that this is not an exact recipe.
Steps to make Nicole's Simple Spaghetti:
- Begin by putting a large pasta pot full of water on high heat to boil.
- In the meantime dice the onion and slice the mushrooms. Set aside.
- Place a skillet (10-12 in.) on med-hi heat, add the ground beef in a even layer to the skillet and spinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning. Brown the seasoned ground beef and break into crumbles with a spatula. (a potato masher works great here also!) Once brown, drain off any excess fat drippings.
- Turn heat on ground beef crumbles to low-med and add the Tomato suace, Tomato paste, (diced tomatoes if using), and McCormick seasoning package. Stir or whisk sauce until blended, cover and simmer until needed. Stirring occasionally.
- By now your pasta water should be boiling. Add the 1tbls. of salt to the pasta water and stir, then add spaghetti pasta and stir to prevent sticking. Do Not add oil to your pasta water as this will make the pasta repel your sauce! Continue stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and cook according to timing on package, usually about 10 minutes.
- While your pasta cooking: In a small skillet heat oil or butter and add onions. Sweat the onions until translucent. Next add mushrooms and garlic and saute until tender. place in a small bowl to serve on side (I have pickey eaters) or add to sauce if desired.
- Once your spaghetti is cooked to aldente or desired tenderness, drain off the water. Do Not rinse your pasta, you will rinse away the startches that help hold the sauce to it!
- Remove sauce from heat.
- In a large serving bowl pour half your sauce into the bottom of your bowl, next pour in spaghetti pasta, then top with remaining sauce. Toss sauce and spaghetti together with tongs until all pasta is coated and sauce is incorporated.
- To serve: place pasta in a nest on plate. Top with optional parmesean cheese and herbs if desired and serve with recommended sides.
It was super easy and inexpensive. Before I get into our homemade spaghetti sauce "recipe", I want to warn you that this is not an exact recipe. The Milk makes the beef so soft. I just added a pinch of Agave Syrup at the end because my Family (especially my three boys) like the sauce to be a bit sweeter, just a Teaspoon for the whole recipe. This will be our family recipe from now on.
