Homemade spaghetti sauce is so easy to make from scratch, and it’s budget-friendly too! It’s the perfect healthy family dinner, and it’s great for meal prepping too. Whether you have your sauce already made or not, you’re in for a tasty dinner in under 30 minutes with very little hands-on time. If you do meal prep and freeze the sauce, you can have dinner on the table in 15 minutes when the pasta is done! And since everyone I know grew up with a slightly different spaghetti sauce, I hope you’ll customize this to your taste. My mom never put red peppers in her spaghetti, but many do, and some enjoy green bell peppers too. If you have fresh herbs around during the summer months, it’s nice to simmer a sprig or two of basil in your spaghetti sauce. This sauce is very customizable and I hope you’ll enjoy it.
How to make this recipe step by step
I really hope you enjoy this Homemade Spaghetti Sauce, it’s a classic in our house! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Add a little olive oil if there isn’t enough oil from the sausage to cook the onions. Step 5: Keep the heat very low and simmer the spaghetti sauce until it’s lightly thickened and the flavors meld about 20 minutes. Stir only occasionally to make sure it’s not sticking. The best way to keep spaghetti sauce from splattering is to refrain from stirring as much as possible. The thinner liquid will build up on the top which is what prevents the big splatters.
