How to Make Bek's Spiced Up Spaghetti Sauce
- Brown 1 lb hot Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 6 oz tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 1 red bell pepper, chopped. (Optional: Add 1 cup chopped carrots).
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 45 minutes, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite pasta!
