that stuff looks tasty.
I have a question for people who may or may not make spaghetti meat sauce using stuff like the Prego sauce or whatever.
If I do not add ketchup or sugar I find that the sauce is really... well quite acidic. Are there other ways you may or may not have gotten around this?
(Also, leave spaghetti and sauce together or keep it separate?? )
Ketchup and sugar... in spaghetti sauce? (I don't understand.)
I would suggest adding caramelized onions to sweeten it. But if you're going to go through the trouble of chopping/cooking additional vegetables, you may as well make the entire sauce.
A simple recipe that I'm guessing measurements for. Its about enough for a pound of pasta.
3T olive oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 large onion, diced
4 large cloves of garlic, minced
8-12 roma tomatoes, diced (dunk them in boiling water for a minute then peel them if you don't like skin)
salt, pepper, fresh basil to taste
Heat oil, add peppers
sautee onion, add garlic
add tomatoes, simmer for about an hour
season as desired
You could go further with this and add in things like more vegetables, tomato paste, wine, seafood, sausage or whatever.
spaghetti and sauce together master race.
