How To Make simple spaghetti sauce

Step 1

Sautee the meat, onions, and mushrooms, and garlic until the meat is fully cooked.

Step 2

Add the paste and blend in with the meat cooking for about 2 minutes. Then add all of the other ingredients. I normally pour the wine into the cans and the sauce jar to get all of the remaining yumminess out of them. Simmer for as long as you want. The sauce gets deeper and richer the more it simmers, but it's also a really great 30 minute sauce.
