An Easy, 20 Minute Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
Seriously easy. Seriously delicious.
Thomas received a call from his mom the other day and she kept talking about this spaghetti sauce she made for his sister Sydney and her girlfriend Alice. She went on and on about the ingredients and how quick and simple it was to make and yada yada yada. Thomas thought it sounded good, but to be honest he forgot about it soon after the call.
Then he received a call from Sydney, who kept going on and on about their mom’s spaghetti sauce and how good it was and how it was THE BEST HOMEMADE SAUCE SHE’S EVER HAD. Okay, now they both had our attention. This wasn’t a game anymore. It was time to get serious.
Thomas immediately called and asked his mom to text him the recipe because he was making it ASAP. Turns out, it came from Wine and Glue, a food website that posts the most delicious recipes! So we went to the store, got what we needed and made it for dinner that night. However, PJ mentioned to Thomas how he hasn’t been into spaghetti lately for whatever reason, so Thomas tweaked the recipe just a tad, and used lentil penne noodles instead (and added some sautéed mushrooms and ground beef). This recipe is for the sauce only, so feel free to ad whatever you want to it! Below is the recipe straight from Wine and Glue.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves minced
28 oz crushed tomatoes
28 oz diced tomatoes see note
2 tsps sugar
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried basil
