How to Make Bumbacco's Spaghetti Sauce

  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 bay leaves, and 4 cloves of minced garlic (from your garlic-infused oil). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened.
  2. Add one (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, one (48 ounce) can of tomato juice, and 1 pound of ground hamburger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
  3. Add 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon ground sage, 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, and 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes.
  4. Add 1 large carrot (peeled and roughly chopped – discard before serving). This helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  5. Let the sauce simmer on very low heat for at least 8 hours, or even all day, stirring occasionally. Skim off any excess oil that rises to the surface.
  6. Before serving, remove the carrot. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve over your favorite pasta!
