Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Italian sausage casings removed; mild or hot
- 1 onion chopped; small; optional
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can tomatoes 28 ounce; diced
- 2 cans tomato paste 6 ounce
- 2 cans tomato sauce 15 ounce
- 2 cups water for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less
- 3 teaspoons basil
- 2 teaspoons parsley flakes dried
- 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper fresh
- 1/4 cup red wine a good Cabernet!
- 1 lb thin spaghetti
- parmesan cheese
Directions
- In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
- Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
- Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
- Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
- Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
- Stir in red wine.
- Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
