What are good ingredients for a homemade spaghetti sauce?

Answer 1

I like to use crushed and diced canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, oregano & crushed red pepper flakes. Sometimes I add italian sausage.

Answer 2

I sometimes add a dash of brown sugar to help with acid from tomatoes I use a Pizza sauce for tomatoe base and then add fennel (gives a great flavor plus I love fennel ) I just use one whole basil leaf and let it float on top and remove it when done don't break it while stirring The pizza sauce is great has spices in it and makes it quick or I use my personal fav a bottle of Paul Newman's Marinara Sauce and add more whole tomatoes without juice or add tomatoe sauce to it and maybe a few more spices I never make it the same and I get a lot of requests for my recipes to me the fun is in the creating your sauce sounds great you just may want to add a few spice you really like fennel gives a great kick to it, almost a licorace flavor

THEN I ADD ONE POUND OF GROUND SAUSAGE AND ONE POUND OF GROUND BEEF ( ALREADY BROWNED AND DRAINED OF COURSE) AND ABOUT HALF A POUND OF FRESH MUSHROOMS AND LET IT COOK ON A LOW SETTING FOR MOST OF THE DAY.
ONLY STIRRING OCCASIONALLY ( TO KEEP FROM BURNING) THEN WHEN ALMOST DONE I ADD HALF A POUND OF GRATED PARMESEAN CHEESE AND STIR !!! IF I DON'T HAVE TOMATO SAUCE THEN I WILL GENERALLY USE TOMATO JUICE AND A SMALL CAN OF TOMATO PASTE !!!
HOPE THIS HELPS !!!!
