Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
This has been my go-to homemade spaghetti sauce for over 10 years. It is one of my favorite and most frequently made recipes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion (finely diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock (or vegetable broth)
- 2 (15-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (or diced tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onions, and garlic, and cook for 6-8 minutes until the beef is no longer pink.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, sugar, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes.
