How to Make Spaghetti Sauce
- STEP 1.In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant. The kitchen will start smelling amazing at this point!
- STEP 1.Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is where the sauce starts to thicken and develop that rich flavor.
- STEP 2.Add a teaspoon of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Taste your sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you like it spicier, add a pinch more red pepper flakes. Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
- STEP 3.Serve your spaghetti sauce over freshly cooked spaghetti or your favorite pasta. Garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for that extra Italian touch. Enjoy!
