Mom’s Homemade Spaghetti & Meat Sauce

This recipe features a savory meat sauce that perfectly complements al dente spaghetti. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that will make you feel right at home.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound spaghetti
Grated parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better the flavors meld together.
While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Once the sauce has thickened and is bursting with flavor, serve it over the cooked spaghetti.
Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and enjoy your delicious homemade meal!

And there you have it! A simple yet delightful recipe that is sure to become a family favorite. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or a crowd, this spaghetti and meat sauce is guaranteed to satisfy. Happy cooking!
