Super Awesome Red Sauce
- 1 pound Ground Beef (if Using 80/20 You May Wish To Drain Some Fat Off After Browning It Off)
- 1/2 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 can Tomato Paste (6 Oz. Can) Plus 2 Cans Of Water
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Italian Herb Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder (NOT Garlic Salt)
- 1/2 teaspoons Onion Powder
- 1 pinch Sugar
- Fresh Ground Pepper, to taste
- Put a pot of water on to boil for your pasta.
- Season water liberally with salt.
- Brown ground beef and saute diced onion and garlic over medium high heat until all meat is cooked.
- If necessary, skim excess fat with a spoon.
- Add the tomato paste to the pot and allow to cook for 45 seconds before adding water.
- Stir until water and paste are smooth and there are no more clumps of tomato paste.
- Add remaining ingredients to the pot.
- Adjust seasonings to taste if necessary.
- Let simmer for at least 15 minutes (while you cook your pasta).
- Serve with plenty of parmesean or romano cheese and crusty French bread with garlic and butter!
- Notes:
- This recipe is easily doubled and easily made even simpler.
- If Im extra short on time, I omit the diced onion and garlic and compensate with the necessary amounts of onion and garlic powder.
- Try to stay away from garlic salt as it is a dangerously easy way to get too much salt in your sauce.
- If you live with a husband or family who loves veggies more than mine, feel free to add any of the following: sauteed shallots, bell pepper, artichokes, or mushrooms.
- I would!
