This is a thick, meaty spaghetti sauce that my mother taught me to make as a teenager, and has received raves in three states. I try to use low salt tomato sauce whenever possible.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
2 (7 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed (optional)
1/2 cup dry red wine, good quality
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1
In a 5 quart pot stir together the first 10 ingredients, simmer over medium low heat for 1 hour.
2
Stir frequently, don't allow sauce to stick, lower heat if needed.
3
While sauce is cooking, brown beef and onion, drain well, then add to the sauce at the end of the hour.
4
Simmer sauce for 1/2 hour then taste, adjust seasoning as needed.
5
Simmer for additional 1/2 hour.
6
Serve over your favorite pasta.

I'm sorry to put this review and mostly since everyone before me put 5 stars. But me and DH found the sauce too acid. The only thing I did not add is the fennel seed and salt. Maybe adding a little bit of sugar would help. I should have tried. Thanks Momaphet. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

I made this last night for dinner and served it with green beans, salad and garlic bread for a wonderful dinner. This sauce is the perfect texture for spaghetti, not runny or watery at all and stuck to the pasta. I made the recipe exactly as stated except for omitting the fennel seeds. My normal recipe doesn't include the red wine and I think that made a huge difference, just loved it!!!! It makes alot of sauce so I have plenty left over (frozen) to use for a future meal. Thanks momaphet for a great recipe!!
