How to Make Lazy Bachelor's Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  2. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor!
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite spaghetti and garnish with fresh basil (optional).
