Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes
1/8 cup white sugar (*Or you can use up to 1/4 cup sugar, if desired)
1/4 cup butter
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tbsp. fresh basil
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Dash of garlic powder
Dash of onion salt
Stir together the tomato sauce, tomatoes, butter and sugar. Add in the oregano, basil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion salt. Cook over Low-Medium heat until bubbling and turn down heat to simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. Serve.
*Johnna’s tip: This is the easiest homemade spaghetti sauce you will find on the market! It is the best alternative when you don’t have a jar of spaghetti sauce on hand but you have these ingredients laying around. The other night, JKGF matched this with some thin spaghetti noodles and Italian meatballs (*Recipe found on JKGF circa May 12, 2009) and it was a hit! Add on a side of spring mix salad or some garlic bread, Enjoy!
