Recipe
Tarah716:
2. I had leftover spaghetti for lunch (2/3 cup pasta, 1/3 cup sauce), with my grandmother's sauce. Honestly I'm done with all other sauces and I fully intend to only eat this sauce from now until I die. Or eat out.
Recipe please?
So, the recipe is a very good, flavorful, and spicy meat sauce... it's not super traditional. Grandma lived all over the world: Japan, Thailand, German, Iran, and Burma. She picked up flavors and techniques from all over the place, so it kind of explains why it's a bit wacky. But I absolutely love it.
Also, half of this is at least 4 meals for us. It makes a ton.
Grandma?s Spaghetti Sauce
Ingredients:
3 large cans of whole tomatoes, pureed in a foodprocessor
2 large cans tomato sauce
1 large can tomato paste
2 large onions, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1-2 stalks of celery, chopped, include theleaves
1 whole celery stalk
1 whole green pepper, cut in half, seeds removed
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tbsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tbsp oregano, or to taste
3/4 tbsp basil, or to taste
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 lb ground beef or meatloaf mix, browned and drained
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients into a largestock pot. Heat on medium, stirring regularly as large stock pots this full arevery susceptible to burning. Once heated through, turn down to low and cook foras long as you can, preferably 4 to 5 hours.
Remove the whole celery stalk and green pepperprior to serving.
Hints:
*The person whose dish contains the bay leafmust wash the dishes (family tradition)
*If the sauce is too thin, add more gratedparmesan
*If the sauce isn't flavorful enough, add morespices such as basil, oregano, or garlic
*If the sauce isn't spicy enough, add moretobasco
*This recipe makes a lot, so freeze leftovers inmeal-sized containers

Haha, I should probably have people over seeing as how DH works that night so it will just be me and a giant pot of spaghetti sauce!
I'll bring the spaghetti noodles!
Freeze the leftovers! It freezes great.

28oz I think. If you do half the recipe, do one large can and 1 small can if you can find one. They are the big ones, usually on the bottom shelf. I can check tonight, but go with "the big ones that are not restaurant sized". Grandma preferred Hunts brand tomatoes.
