Description

This hearty spaghetti sauce is a comforting classic that transforms simple pantry staples into a deeply flavorful meal. Made with ground chuck, fresh garlic, and aromatic herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil, it offers a robust texture and savory taste that pairs perfectly with pasta. The slow simmering process allows the flavors to meld together, creating a thick, satisfying sauce that coats every strand of spaghetti. It is an ideal weeknight dinner option that feels homemade and indulgent without requiring complex techniques. Serve over hot pasta with a sprinkle of parmesan for a satisfying family-style meal that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Brown the ground chuck in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until no longer pink.
  2. Drain excess fat from the pan, leaving about one tablespoon for flavor.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the meat and saut&# 195;© until the onions are translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano, thyme, basil, garlic salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour in the canned tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon if necessary.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Cover and let the sauce simmer gently for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavors are melded.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving over cooked spaghetti.

Note

This sauce yields enough to cover approximately 1 pound of spaghetti.

For a richer flavor, substitute ground chuck with a mix of beef and pork.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend the tomatoes and meat mixture with an immersion blender after simmering.
