Luke's Wicked Spaghetti Sauce Recipe #358780
This is a great way to do spaghetti sauce that my mom taught me. It is easy to make and everyone who has it seems to like it a lot. I live alone, so I usually freeze portions, and they reheat great.

SERVES 4 , 2 Quarts(est.)
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2-1 lb ground beef
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1/2-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Saute in olive oil, be careful not to cook the garlic too long. I add the onion first, and the garlic for the last couple minutes of cooking.
- Brown the ground beef, I drain and discard most of the fat.
- In large pot add whole tomatoes (I chop each of these into smaller pieces in the pot.) Add the tomato sauce. Add the tomato paste. Add the beef and the onion/garlic mixture.
- Add your red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp depending on how spicy you want it, oregano, basil, sugar, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix well and simmer on low for 60-90 mins, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup of water if it gets too thick while simmering. Remove bay leaf, and serve over pasta, top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
