Easy Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Dinner, Sauces Italian Blender, Stove Top

June 7, 2018

A great substitute to the bottled stuff with twice the flavor! Plus, it can be done in as little as 5 minutes and uses ingredients you've got in your pantry.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 30 mins

Ingredients

2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes

1 (6 oz) can tomato paste

4 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or basil (or 2 Tbsp. dried parsley or basil)

1 clove garlic

1 tsp. dried oregano

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/3 cup finely diced onions (or 3 Tbsp. dehydrated or minced onion)

1/2 cup beef or chicken broth

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, if desired (I'm talking the Kraft-style cheese)

Directions

1Combine ingredients in blender or food processor.

2If desired, simmer for 30 minutes before topping noodles (this enhances the flavors, but if you're in a rush, you can heat the sauce over the noodles.)

You can also make this in the morning and simmer in a slow cooker during the day.

Also, if you have left over pork bones (from pork chops, or a roast) you can simmer the bones in the sauce for an amazingly authentic flavor.
