Spaghetti Is Always Good Eats

Tweet

Spaghetti is one of those dishes that hits our household menu at least once a month. It just never fails to satisfy, and I think it's relatively cheap to make as well and goes quite far providing for more than just one meal from a batch of it. When I make mine, the sauce isn't necessarily from scratch. But it's also never from a jar. There's nothing particularly fancy about how I make it, but it always turns out quite good. I start with diced onion and cook that up a bit in some olive oil. Then I add in mushrooms and cook that up a bit. Then, in with a can of diced tomatoes, a can of tomato sauce followed by a can of water. Stir that up a bit and let it heat up a little. Then I typically add a tablespoon or more each (I rarely actually measure) of oregano and Italian seasoning. I toss in about a teaspoon of thyme and three or more tablespoons of minced garlic, as well as a tablespoon and a half or so of sugar to cut the acidity. I let that simmer for a while. Usually, 30 or 40 minutes or so. Then I add in 30-32 meatballs and let that cook up a bit while I put on the noodles. Halfway through the noodles cooking I add in a can of tomato paste and let it simmer a bit more until the noodles are done. How do you make your spaghetti sauce?
