How to Make Babzy's Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until beef is browned and onions are softened (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon sugar (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 1-3 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor!
  3. Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Serve over your favorite pasta (vermicelli is a personal favorite!).
  5. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
