How to Make Leona's Spaghetti Sauce
- Fry 4 slices of bacon until almost crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pan. Sauté until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes). If using, stir in 1 teaspoon anchovy paste and 1/2 - 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to taste).
- In a large pot, combine the sautéed onions and garlic, 28 ounces (794g) canned crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in the cooked bacon.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite spaghetti and garnish with extra bacon if desired.
