How to Make Anna's Spaghetti Sauce
- Finely chop 1 medium onion. In a large saucepan or pot, sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
- Add 1 chopped bell pepper (any color) and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of Italian sausage (sweet or hot, your choice), breaking it up with a spoon. Brown the sausage, ensuring it's cooked through.
- Drain off any excess grease from the pan.
- Stir in one (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 6 ounces of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be!
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve over your favorite pasta and garnish with fresh basil (optional) and freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
