Mama Dees Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Brown beef in a saucepot or large, deep skillet over medium heat; drain.
• Add garlic and saute until just turning white.
• Add onion, celery, and mushrooms. Saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
• Add tomatoes with juice and tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Add tomato paste and mix together. Stir in herbs and bay leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of brown sugar, if desired.
• Bring sauce to a simmer; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package instructions.
• Before serving, remove bay leaves and taste; adjust seasoning as desired. Serve over hot pasta, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• 1. Brown sausage and ground beef in large saute pan. Sprinle with the seasoned salt and pepper. Add diced onion to meat and saute 3-4 minutes. Grate in garlic and cook another 3 minutes. Set aside.
• 2. In large 6 quart crock pot or slow cooker vessle, empty all cans and put water and rest of seasonings into it. Save brown sugar and gravy mix for last 30 minutes of cooking. This sounds like alot of spices but the ones I use, it takes that much. If u want to use less then taste half way thru cooking and see if you need to add more.
• 3. Add meat mixture to sauce mixture, stir well to blend. Cook on high for 1 hour until it is rapidly simmering. Turn to low and let simmer for 3-4 hours. As sauce cooks, if it appears to be getting to thick add a little more water at a time if needed. The last 30 minutes whisk in the gravy mix and brown sugar thoroughly. Let simmer 20-30 minutes longer.
• 4. This makes enough sauce for at least 3 meals in our family. The first nite we have it over whole wheat spaghetti noodles. I always cook extra noodles so we can have our favorite, fried spaghetti, the next nite. I then freeze the rest to make lasagna at a later date.

Steps:

• In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
• Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
• Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
• Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
• Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
• Stir in red wine.
• Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
• Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
• Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Place sausage in a skillet. Add hot water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove sausages and separate links if necessary. Discard drippings.
• In a large Dutch Oven, saute mushrooms, carrot and onion just until al dente.
• Add sausages.
• Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer 1 hour, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Serve over pasta, or by itself with hot crusty bread.

Steps:

• 1. In skillet, cook Italian or wild game sausage (ground beef if you choose) and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain (unless using wild game sausage where there will not be any meaningful liquid to drain)
• 2. Transfer to slow cooker (crockpot)
• 3. add the remaining ingredients and stir well to mix. Cover with bay leaves on top.
• 4. cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Take lid off slow cooker for the last hour to allow liquid to cook off...
• 5. discard bay leaves and serve over spaghetti/pasta...do not rinse the pasta as you will loose the starch (rinsing of pasta is not recommended)
• 6. We now sprinkle parm cheese on the plate before the pasta as a nice touch and to mop up any liquid separation from the sauce (although there will be none)...and of course parm cheese on top. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil, add the garlic and onion, and saute until onion is soft/translucent.
• Add the ground sirloin and Italian sausage and cook until no longer pink.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients, adding the bay leaves last so as not to break them up during stirring. Adjust the seasonings as needed to suit your taste.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat down to the lowest possible heat and let simmer for 2 hours covered with an offset lid.
• Serve with cooked spaghetti and parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• 1. Bring water and salt to rolling boil in a large pot. Add lasagne noodles and cook until just tender--do not overcook. Remove from heat and run cold water into pot until noodles are cold, then drain.
• 2. Use an oblong baking dish at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches deep (a cake pan will do). Grease baking dish; cover the bottom with some of the Lasagne Sauce and 2 tablespoons water. Add a layer of drained noodles, a layer of Lasahne Filling and then a thin layer of sauce. Sprinkle with part of the grated Romano and mozzarella cheeses. Repeat layers, finishing off with noodles on the top and sprinkle with remaining grated Romano and mozzarella cheeses. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a *375 oven for 60 to 70 minutes.
• 3. FOR LASAGNE SAUCE Heat oil. Add onions and garlic; cook until brown. Add salt, pepper, oregano, tomato paste, water and tomatoes. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• 4. FOR LASAGNE FILLING Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. You can serve with a salad and garlic bread if you wish.
