How to Make Thick N Hearty Spaghetti Sauce
- In a large pot, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried sage, and 1 tsp dried basil.
- Add one (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, one (15 oz) can tomato sauce, and 2 tbsp tomato paste. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried sage, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Continue to simmer uncovered on medium-low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken considerably.
- Taste and add more seasoning (salt, pepper, herbs) to your liking.
- Continue to simmer, uncovered, on low for another 30-60 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to your desired thickness. It should have reduced by about half.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, or enjoy it on toasted bread with parmesan or cheddar cheese.
