How to Make Granny M's Spaghetti Sauce
- Finely chop 1 medium onion and 4 cloves garlic. In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until the onion is softened and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will become.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a pinch more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
