Zubereitung von Gramps Spaghetti Sauce
- In a large stockpot, combine the whole peeled tomatoes (crushed by hand), tomato juice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water. Stir well to combine.
- Add bay leaves, sugar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate all the spices and seasonings.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2.5 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will become. (Up to 3 hours is ideal!)
- While the sauce simmers, brown your meatballs or sausage in a separate skillet until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the browned meatballs or sausage to the sauce during the last 30 minutes of simmering. Stir gently to combine.
- Remove bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot over your favorite pasta!
