It must be a week for some new recipes! Â Over the years I have tried making homemade spaghetti sauce and while most of them were “ok”, there were not really any that we cared to try again. Â Well….that is until now! Â I found a recipe for a spaghetti sauce mix in a cookbook I have and adjusted it (of course) to my liking. Â We REALLY liked how it turned out! Â I hope you enjoy it too!
HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI
- Pasta of your choice
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 4 8-oz. cans tomato sauce (can use diced tomatoes or mixture of both to equal 1 quart)
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon organic sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon ground sage
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook pasta of your choice according to package directions.
To make sauce: In a large saucepan, brown ground beef, drain. Â Add the tomato sauce and spices and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Serve sauce mixed into pasta or serve noodles and sauce separately.
Serve with Parmesan cheese and/or cheddar cheese on top.
You really ought to consider whole wheat spaghetti noodles, organic if you can! I can get just regular whole wheat spaghetti at Walmart for about $1 where I live father north. The taste – mmmmmmmm and you fill up a lot faster, so you won’t have to cook as much since they are so hearty. Same thing for lasagna! I see you order from Azure, so you can get them at a good price from them. Just a thought!
I know the picture doesn’t show it, but I do buy the whole wheat spaghetti at Walmart…the macaroni noodles, the egg noodles, etc. We love it and don’t really notice that much difference. I haven’t checked out the noodles at Azure yet..I’ll have to do that..thanks!
