How to Make Spaghetti Lasagna Sauce
- Blend 28 ounces of stewed tomatoes and 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes in a blender until smooth.
- In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the blended tomatoes and reduce heat to low. Stir well to combine.
- Add 2 tablespoons of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Check the consistency of the sauce. If it's too thin, stir in 2-4 tablespoons of no-salt-added tomato paste or a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) until desired thickness is reached.
- Season with salt substitute and freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving. Enjoy!
