How To Make spaghetti sauce

  • Step 1
    Saute onion, bell pepper and 10 minced garlic cloves in olive oil. Add salt and crushed red pepper. Once sauteed place in blender with chicken broth and blend until smooth.
  • Step 2
    Move back to the pan you sauteed in and add tomato sauce, sugar, garlic powder and black pepper to taste. Cover with a lid and simmer.
  • Step 3
    After an hour stir then stir every 20 minutes afterwards until you feel that it's ready, normally 1.5 - 2 hours but you can cook longer if desired.
  • Step 4
    When it's done add a bunch of fresh basil, remove from heat and serve.
  • Step 5
    * Make sure that you buy good quality tomato sauce. Dont buy the cheap stuff. * I also add 1 pound of browned hamburger meat about 15 minutes before it's ready to be served.
