Comment préparer Very Speciale Spaghetti Sauce
- In a large pot, combine 2 (28 ounce) cans of crushed tomatoes, 1 (6 ounce) can of tomato paste, and 2 cups of water. Stir over medium-high heat until the tomato paste is completely dissolved.
- In a separate skillet, sauté 1 large onion (chopped) and 4 cloves garlic (minced) in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Pour the sautéed onion and garlic mixture into the large pot.
- Add 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, brown 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet until cooked through; drain off any excess grease. Add the browned ground beef to the sauce.
- Continue simmering for another hour.
- Taste frequently and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a drizzle of olive oil (1-2 tablespoons) if desired (my mother-in-law's secret!).
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- If the sauce is too thin, add more tomato paste, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
