I'm a new subscriber - been a fan of your wife's for a while. I dig your channel. Dish looks good; if I may make a suggestion, try using San Marzano crushed tomatoes next time. There are lots of brands but Cento is my favorite. I promise ya, they'll change your life ;)
My mother has been on a low carb diet for a while, so all the pasta in our house is weird. I made spaghetti last night and I can't remember what type of pasta I used (maybe semolina), but it absorbed too much salt from the water and didn't have the right texture - also took 20 minutes to cook. Last night, I just had it so I only made a single serving of those noodles, but tonight when we all ate it, I made the chick pea pasta to go with the sauce..... and it was amazing. I think the chick pea pasta is even better than regular pasta. It blends so nicely with the sauce and has a great texture. If you want a healthier option, give it a shot.
I've made this spaghetti several times. It's the ONLY sauce I will ever make. If my nephew goes back three times, it must be good! I am a new cook and thank you for making me comfortable in my own kitchen!
When he said "excites my soul" about getting to use his garlic crusher I laughed out loud and knew I was going to try this recipe! Goodness!!!! He wasn't kidding!!! This blew my pasta night out of the water. Thanks! Cheers from Canada!
I cannot believe a recipe this simple can be so good! Tried this last night, and it was amazing! This is now the new way of doing spaghetti at my house!
I'm Italian. My relatives & I make our meatballs out of equal parts hot Italian sausage, ground beef & veal. I add a little dry red wine to my sauce. No sugar! If it's too sweet add a few springs of mint. We cook our sauce all day long. Serve it the next day with pasta! As you said, it's always better the next day! No jar sauce! They will kill you if they find that empty jar in the garbage! LOL
@@soniasg8639 I only use olive oil to fry the meatballs, garlic & sausage. I drain it off before adding the tomatoes which I can from the garden during the summer. You do not want greasy sauce. It won’t stick to the pasta. It’s about the tomato not the olive oil!
1/5/22: Okay, I made it exactly the way you do, except I added the mushrooms, oregano and pinch of sugar, and I have to express that it came out WONDERFUL! I have never added that much olive oil to my sauce after the fact, only when frying down my bell peppers and onions I add enough oil to cover the pan. It made it look and taste so velvety smooth, and I didn't even have to add a can of tomato paste to thicken it up (something I usually do) ...wow! I just had to touch base with you after making it. Thanks again, AB!
I just made this the only difference I used was I also sauteed mushrooms with my veggies for my sauce. I had a side salad with that good Hidden Valley Ranch, and I'm not even gonna over talk it. It was that fire!!! Can't wait to have it for lunch tomorrow!
I made this recipe Christmas Eve and had some left over for Christmas Day. If you want to know what I and those who ate it thought of it, I ran out Christmas Day and immediately made another batch! I was concerned about all of the olive oil at first, but it is an exceptional dish!
@@dirtydragon9 Yeah I was wondering what the point of dumping so much olive oil does. The Sauce looked great without it and you can see all that oil just sitting at the top. I think I'll try it without it.
absolutely love your intro. love it. and my father was a full blooded italian and in our family spaghetti was always serves the same way you said your momma taught you. Love your style. This is the first video I've watched of yours. will be watching more.
Great recipe! It made me hungry for my mom’s spaghetti sauce. She 'added chili powder' to her sauce for a little bit of 'added heat', plus a bit of sugar to cut the tomato acid. I also remember she added 'whole garlic cloves', and a lot of 'button mushrooms'. It was 'lucky to find a whole clove' on your plate. Your various recipes with collards and your Southern green beans are similar to hers, bringing back even more great food memories. And your style of cooking also reminds me of hers. She called it, "Put and Taste". You know exactly what flavors you are looking for. Thanks for your very enjoyable videos!
I haven’t been following you long but so far I have made quite a few of your recipes. For anyone that doubts this mans chef skills, DONT! Uncle AB knows his stuff and I haven’t been let down not one time using his recipes. Even forward/shared his TH-cam to family and friends. Recipes are absolutely delicious. Keep doing it big Unc!
I ain’t gonna lie: I use that cheap Ragu garlic and onion out tha jar sauce. BUT....I doctor it with fresh bell, onions, and garlic with seasoning of S&P and Italian herb mix. As far as meat, just ground beef, pepperoni slices, and Johnsonville Italian sausage. I also melt shredded mozzarella in with the meat. Your style looks good of course! 👏🏻👍
Not only does the food taste great when I follow your recipes at home but the ingredients you recommend are never too hard to find. Amazing what great tastes can be formed with simple ingredients. Appreciate it AB! You’re helping a college student eat like a king!
My Italian uncle added his family's herb ideas to make the sauce - thyme, oregano, fennel, bay leaves, basil... also onion and garlic. Really good! I like to add bell pepper and simmer the meatballs/sausage in the sauce on low for minimum 1 hour.
Im going to use my turkey meatballs instead of the ground turkey,, I know it's going to be just right, got to add the garlic bread.. thanks for sharing Sir... waiting for more from you 😊😊😊🌞
Try using canned whole san marzano tomatoes and crush them with your hands into the pot. The whole tomatoes are typically better quality than the crushed ones.
You are right Jeff. Made a recipe for sauce that called for san marzano tomatoes and simmer in cast iron skillet. It was absolutely amazing! Those are hard to find sometimes so good crushed tomatoes that AB used will do just fine as well
Hey AB man from a Louisiana Boy that's been in Texas for 3yrs that is exactly how I make my sauce with one exception I add 2tbs of sugar to cut the acidity from the tomatoes and I add 1tsp of crushed red peppers just for that little KICK! Gonna be making this this week infact
Thanks AB, I made this the weekend with CENTOS crushed tomato as requested from the comments and it was amazing. I didn't need to add the olive oil...I used Grass Fed Beef and Italian. Amazing. I loved it! Will use this from here on out. Thank you and the BACONATOR!!! ON POINT!!!!
@@john9040 Spaghetti looks delicious. I also like to keep my sauce separate and just ladle the Spaghetti sauce on top of my Spaghetti. My family like it better this way because they can control how much sauce they want on the Spaghetti.
Yes that's what I use too grass fed beef also I don't put extra olive oil because the Italian sausage will release some more of its oils because she didn't let it cook that long and a tab bit of sugar to get rid of some of the acididity
When I grew up my momma also mixed the noodles with her homemade sauce before serving. 6 kids and two parents... it had to go a long way. If she didn’t do that, the older boys would use up all the sauce. So the last ones to the table got plain noodles! It worked. And her batch was so big we’d fight over the leftovers the next day!! Gonna try this recipe.
I just made this today for my family, they loved it! Personally I don’t like chunks in my pasta so what I did instead was cook the onions, bell peppers, and garlic (whole) and blended it with the tomato sauce. I added parsley and basil into the sauce blend as well as beef bouillon garlic salt and pepper! Once I got the sauce how I liked then I added it to the meat mix it was amazing! Best spaghetti I have ever had (I’m a bolognese lover) :) Thanks!
I add celery, mushrooms, stewed or crushed tomatoes and olives along with more seasonings to my dish. My mother taught me at a young age to make this dish and it is my absolute favorite dish ever!!!! Sometimes I even add cottage cheese to the finished dish. Yummy!!!! 😋😋
I have to admit this is the best spaghetti and it is super easy to make. I made it several times and get compliments every time. AB has one of the best if not the best cooking show on TH-cam. Thanks for GREAT and easy recipes. I can't wait to try more recipes.
My soul literally left my body when you put that sketti in the bowl and I was just smiling when you were speechless after the first bite! You didn't even have to say anything. The look on your face said it for you! I'm totally making this! Love and blessings from Georgia. ❤🙏🏻
I made this tonight, but I doubled the meat. I also added a tad bit of sugar to the sauce to cut back on the acidity. It came out great and tasted like I was at an Italian restaurant. Keep the recipes coming bro, they are truly appreciated.
Look, my grandfather was Italian and I know my way around pasta dishes, but y’all…this is LEGIT!! Hands down the BEST spaghetti recipe I have ever tried! AB your food game is on point sir 😊
Thanks to you I've started cooking. I've ordered so much cookware, and some of Branch and Vine products, and also some of Sweet Smokie Joes products. I made this dish and it went very fast. I also agree, that spaghetti always tastes better the next day. Congratulations on the restaurant and the 1 million subscribers. Thank you again for having the confidence to try something new.
This dish was absolutely delicious 😋!!! The best spaghetti I've ever made! Thank you so much AB and this will be my go to recipe!!! Love the crush tomatoes instead of Ragu/Prego sauce! That parmesan basil olive oil took it to another level! Appreciate you bunches❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video was so amazing because you showed me why my spaghetti never turned out excellent. I never shook out the cooked noodles like you did and I never put the spaghetti in the sauce. I plated them seperately and that's why the flavor wasn't in each bite. You are the best, AB! I'm making this on St. Patrick's Day! Lol. Thank you very much.
@@quiqui5793 AB has spoken about and done lower sodium options. Packaged broth and dry mixes, like Lipton, can contain a lot of sodium. Great flavor can still be achieved without them.
Oh man, who wouldn't want to eat that! Thanks AB - two weeks later we had this for dinner tonight. The entire family are now fans, thanks for the recipe, will definitely be doing it again. Can't wait for lunch tomorrow!
Add a half teaspoon of baking soda to the meat before cooking and let it sit for 15 min! It keeps the moisture in and browns the meat in a way that's beautiful. TRUST ME CHEF
I started adding chicken broth instead of water to my sauce a few years ago and it changed my life. Also, add your uncooked pasta to the sauce and let it cook in there to further absorb the taste of the sauce! I have a question though. Why add the olive oil to the sauce? Seems like it would make the sauce greasy.
Another banger AB!!! Everyone if you happen to go Cali you need to go check out AB’s restaurant! I came from North Carolina and AB showed me and my family much love and he was very humble!!! Thanks for inspiring us AB! 💪🏽💯
My daughter rated my spaghetti a 100 she absolutely loved it 😍 I didn’t have Italian sausage in the fridge so I used andouille sausage. dinner was so delicious. Thanks to you AB
I've made this several times. Your title says it all, "Best spaghetti ever." I was talking to one of my associates at work about a year ago and we were comparing spaghetti recipes. Turns out she used the same recipe. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
I am so excited to try this!! I would love a series where it’s meals for diabetics! I recently got diagnosed and I want to learn some good recipes that’ll help me and also my family (everyone is diabetic) all other TH-cam videos I watch don’t look as great so I want to see if this will be a good challenge for you and maybe possibly a series 🥺
It runs in my family as well. At 53, I still don't have it. I use Barilla veggie pasta, tomato sauces that are sodium and sugar free. Lots of spices and a packet or two of NutraSweet or Splenda to temper the acids from the tomatoes.. Additional finely diced veggies as well.
You just gained another loyal subscriber ❤️ I recently started living on my own and thus, am learning how to cook for myself. You made this recipe so easy to build on that even the non-cooks (like me) could follow along! I’m from the south & had to add some sugar, but this came out BOMB. Thank you AB 😊
Making this tonight. I fry my spaghetti the next morning with veg oil and put two over easy eggs on top! Delicious! Last night I made your perfect steak and it was amazing! Thank you!,,
I've never made homemade sauce, I would use the bottle sauces and add ground beef BUT NOW I AM going to start making homemade sauce. Thank you AB 👍🏽🙋🏾♀️
Looking good! My level up would be to add red wine instead of water and let the sauce simmer for a couple hours. And toss some parmesan rinds in the sauce!
This smelled and tasted absolutely delicious! I tweaked it a bit and added a small can of diced tomatoes that had garlic in it for an extra kick. And after trying Mr.Make It Happen spaghetti sauce recipe i decided to try this one also. I don’t plan on using the jar again !🤣🙏🏾
AB, your love for the garlic press is the reason I appreciate your channel. You keep everything real! You tickled me when you said using it excites your soul. Keep sharing your favorite tips, ingredients, and tools with us! I love to see your passion for cooking in each and every video.
Here's another next level application, substitute water for chicken broth when making mashed potatos/boiling rice.. Add salt, garlic & butter to the boil too(when it works for the dish)
AB....I've tried both of your spaghetti recipes and both are the business! For quicker prep times I use this recipe. In the other recipe it takes a lot of patience to cook the tomatoes down for 3 hrs. I can cook it either the night before or early morning. I use ground turkey, veggie & I just used some plant based spicy ground sausage
You should have your own show on a black food network ✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Thank you for this because I’ve mastered hooking the jar with the envelope seasoning. I don’t do pork, but their is a sub I use from Iserno and it’s ground chicken. They have hot, or mild breakfast sausage in a roll and I use it in lasagna, biscuits and gravy, my breakfast sandwiches etc to replace pork. You Sir are AMAZING.🥰. I am going to try your method. My ONE concern is the noodles being to soft and what does the olive oil do that you poured into sauce?
Greetings. I love what you do!! How about adding a little tomato paste in the sauce. Some Texas toast on the side. Boom there it is. Just saying . ~Peace&Blessings ~
Omg I watch this video today and I just finish making this using the cento crushed tomato the taste is so amazing goodbye to store bought sauce thank you AB for this recipe 🥰🥰🥰
I had a friend in primary school whose grandfather used to make something like this for her all the time for lunch. I loved it so much he started sending an extra bowl just for me. Since I learnt how to cook, I've been trying to duplicate it but never knew how to. This is the closest recipe I've seen that resembles it. Thanks for this. I'm going to try!
AB, you need to make ya’ll some muffulettas. It’s simple: French loaf, good deli ham (boar’s head the best), good salami, provolone cheese, and olive mix (out the jar), brush with melted margarine and garlic salt . Dig out the insides of each side of bread, wrap in foil, 375 oven for about 20 min. Serve with a pickle and Ruffles potato chips.
@@SmokinandGrillinwithAB thanks 🇦🇺❤️💚that’s nice! I’m German/Australian 🇦🇺🇩🇪 I had a lovely itaiian Mum in law I would add mushrooms because I love mushrooms thanks nice recipe!! 😸🌈❤️💙💚🇦🇺🍸😸
AB, your spaghetti has my mouth watering!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Growing up in SC, my mom prepared spaghetti like that because we had a large family, and I make mine like that too!!! YUMMY!!! It has been a long time since I've made any. Now, I'm gonna have to make some!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing!!! 😀❤
When it comes to seperating the meat from the grease I just use a collander/strainer then put a metal bowl beneath it to catch the grease so it doesn't go down the drain. As far as serving it I absolutely think it's better the next day, especially if you mix the noodles in with the sauce. I also like adding sliced mushrooms to it. I just been using beef though, never thought about using pork. Might have to try that next time.
1/5/22: Happy New Year! Your dish looks wonderful, but the only thing I would do different is to add some mushrooms, 1 tsp oregano, and a pinch of sugar to cut the acid in the tomato sauce. This was so inspiring that I'm making spaghetti today. Love your videos...TFS!
AB, that looks fire 🔥!!! Had me rollin' at the end "I'm speechless" all them seasonings hit your mouth pallet and taste buds at the same time. Thanks for sharing, I'm making this tonight.
AB you are a miracle worker! The MAN! I took an online culinary course (my mother didn’t know how to cook) and the spaghetti sauce they made was with expensive ingredients and relatively flavorless. Made yours…simple, inexpensive and easy and WOW!
Ti do io una ricetta economica e gustosa, prendi i pomodori freschi li speli li tagli in due togli liquido e semini e il pomodoro lo fai a cubetti, un filo di olio in padella fai scaldare l'olio e ci metti aglio ben tritata poi metti i cubetti 2 minuti di cottura e stacchi metti un filo d'olio extra vergine un po' di basilico ed ecco un piatto economico e gustoso. Il formaggio non è obbligatorio io non lo metto.
I like all spaghetti noodles. Thick is ok. Reg is ok. Angel Hair I do like more, however it kinda gets sticky. So my go to is vermicelli. It's thinner than normal spaghetti (in america, not italy) but thicker than angel hair. It's absolutely perfect for both this recipe and home made asian dishes. The only thing is that it's slightly harder to find than all the other noodles.
I am making spaghetti tonight. I instantly said lemme see if AB has a video. It looks delicious! I'm using your recipe tonight but I do have a question. Why add olive oil to the sauce? Why so much? I will give it my own twist with a dash of cinnamon and a pinch of sugar. (Don't judge 😂🤣!)
Reading these comments are so educational.... Imma have to try some of y'all tips I use italian sausage mushrooms, onions green peppers, red pepper, miniced garlic the cheapest sauce and doctor it up with my seasoning
Your spaghetti looks AMAZING! I stopped using jared spaghetti sauce long ago! Making your own sauce is so much better! I am definitely going to make it your way this week!
I make my spaghetti just like your mother taught you. I put extra Italian seasonings and basil because I like the taste. Delicious looking. Thumbs up.👍

I was thinking the same thing a little red wine and maybe use fire roasted tomatoes smashed and chopped.👍❤
You're right, they're $1 and up so it's suspicious to me those jars and cans.
I'd put a little dark or light brown sugar whatever you have. Not to make it sweet but to tone down the citrus of the tomato.
I knew something was missing just couldn't put my finger on it... Then I thought about your comment and that was it. Thanks!
Mee too girl 😂🙌
No, use mint instead. It's better at taking out the acid not disguising it.
Yes Pattrice Gray !!! My mom always uses brown sugar and some chili powder !!
Add .5 teaspoon baking soda for every 2-3 cups of tomato substances. Stir until foam settles. This avoids adding sugar to the sauce.

I made this for my wife and daughter and they loved it! Great spaghetti recipe. Thanks
Made this tonight! I’m not going to lie I was hesitant about adding the olive oil. This was the best spaghetti I ever made period!! Thank you!!!
I’m so pleased that you decided not to lie.
I have to admit this is the best spaghetti and it is super easy to make. I made it several times and get compliments every time. AB has one of the best if not the best cooking show on TH-cam. Thanks for GREAT and easy recipes. I can't wait to try more recipes.
How long did you cook it for in total?
Looks absolutely delicious, personally I think I would have added mushrooms, but that's me
Super customizable fam! You can definitely add that 🔥
I was just thinking that & was going to post. But it still looks good
MUSHROOMS
That's me too
I Love mushrooms. Rest of the family hates them. Good thing I do the cooking.
😋
I absolutely love when he says ‘now I know some of you might want a bayleaf, but Ima just do this’
Love it!
My soul literally left my body when you put that sketti in the bowl and I was just smiling when you were speechless after the first bite! You didn't even have to say anything. The look on your face said it for you! I'm totally making this! Love and blessings from Georgia. ❤🙏🏻
I like to fry some red chilly flakes with my onions and garlic/peppers
Thanks 4 the tip I'ma try that.😊
🔥🤤
Sound good
Me 2
Thanks for the tip. I just throw the flakes in there. Fry them...Ok!
I’m here for it!! Has to be good since you gotta eat spaghetti for 3 days after you make it 😂
😂😂😂😂💯💯💯
Yessir! It's better the next day too so I'm all about the leftover spaghetti game
Gotta have some for the next day lol 🔥🤤
Try frying the leftover spaghetti for a few minutes in that basil olive oil. Yummm
Fa Sho ✊🏾
I made this tonight, but I doubled the meat. I also added a tad bit of sugar to the sauce to cut back on the acidity. It came out great and tasted like I was at an Italian restaurant. Keep the recipes coming bro, they are truly appreciated.
Shawn Collazo i add just a little bit of sugar too youre right it does balance the acidity
a little lime or lemon juice works too.. even brown sugar
Look, my grandfather was Italian and I know my way around pasta dishes, but y’all…this is LEGIT!! Hands down the BEST spaghetti recipe I have ever tried! AB your food game is on point sir 😊
If you ever do in person cooking classes IM ON THE NEXT FLIGHT!
This was the best spaghetti I ever made and my family loved it. No more jars of sauce for me.
Thanks to you I've started cooking. I've ordered so much cookware, and some of Branch and Vine products, and also some of Sweet Smokie Joes products. I made this dish and it went very fast. I also agree, that spaghetti always tastes better the next day. Congratulations on the restaurant and the 1 million subscribers. Thank you again for having the confidence to try something new.
This dish was absolutely delicious 😋!!! The best spaghetti I've ever made! Thank you so much AB and this will be my go to recipe!!! Love the crush tomatoes instead of Ragu/Prego sauce! That parmesan basil olive oil took it to another level! Appreciate you bunches❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Which Oliver oil u use
This video was so amazing because you showed me why my spaghetti never turned out excellent. I never shook out the cooked noodles like you did and I never put the spaghetti in the sauce. I plated them seperately and that's why the flavor wasn't in each bite. You are the best, AB! I'm making this on St. Patrick's Day! Lol. Thank you very much.
I LOVE the way he enjoys his food. Inspires me to want to cook more because I barely cook now since my kids are away in college.
Hey there, I like to use chicken or beef broth instead of water. I also use a pack of Lipton onion soup and dip mix. Looks good, AB!
🙋🏽 me too. More flavor! I'm surprised AB didn't
Great suggestions!
@@quiqui5793 AB has spoken about and done lower sodium options. Packaged broth and dry mixes, like Lipton, can contain a lot of sodium. Great flavor can still be achieved without them.
@@nruss okay 👍🏾
Or milk...boiling the water back down will evaporate a little flavor of those great ingridents
Tomato paste is my go to for a hearty taste and also makes that sauce really cling to the Noodles . You the Man AB
I’m watching this for the third time as I make it! Thanks AB! It IS SO DELICIOUS!!💕
This looks magnificent! For an even better taste, always add a little of your pasta water in the sauce. 🤗
Oh man, who wouldn't want to eat that! Thanks
AB - two weeks later we had this for dinner tonight. The entire family are now fans, thanks for the recipe, will definitely be doing it again. Can't wait for lunch tomorrow!
Add a half teaspoon of baking soda to the meat before cooking and let it sit for 15 min! It keeps the moisture in and browns the meat in a way that's beautiful. TRUST ME CHEF
Baking soda also cuts the tomato acidity.
I started adding chicken broth instead of water to my sauce a few years ago and it changed my life. Also, add your uncooked pasta to the sauce and let it cook in there to further absorb the taste of the sauce!
I have a question though. Why add the olive oil to the sauce? Seems like it would make the sauce greasy.
not necessary, he adds to much oil
Spaghetti the next day is definitely a whole new flavor VIBE!
I like frying leftover spaghetti in butter I no bad but it’s so good
@@kbot9197 how ironic when I was a child I used to put butter in my bowl of spaghetti. I have to agree with you it’s definitely Delici🤤us!
I also when fried it goes good with fried eggs and toast ok and bacon
No cap
@@kbot9197 I LOVE next day spaghetti but with olive oil reheated on the frying pan with parm cheese.. yum
Down to earth just common sense good brother . We all need more of that . Turn off the tv and i’ll meet you in the kitchen kids . Love from the Ozarks
Ay thank you 🙌
Exactly!!
Another banger AB!!! Everyone if you happen to go Cali you need to go check out AB’s restaurant! I came from North Carolina and AB showed me and my family much love and he was very humble!!! Thanks for inspiring us AB! 💪🏽💯
That's what's up Bro! It was my pleasure meeting you and your family. We'll meet again when I come back out your way. Thank you again bro! 👏😁
@@SmokinandGrillinwithAB no doubt! We gonna calib on some BBQ!!!
What’s the name of the restaurant??

@@terrillashe6772 rancho??? Cool! Just 2hrs from me 😁
Love you my new, chef. Damn. Love your channel. So fun!! Ty.
My daughter rated my spaghetti a 100 she absolutely loved it 😍 I didn’t have Italian sausage in the fridge so I used andouille sausage. dinner was so delicious. Thanks to you AB
🤣🤣🤣A.B. you're face expressions are worth a million bucks !
Lol 😆
AB I tried the recipe last weekend and it was delicious! I even purchased a garlic press. Move over store bought sauces.🍝
I've made this several times. Your title says it all, "Best spaghetti ever." I was talking to one of my associates at work about a year ago and we were comparing spaghetti recipes. Turns out she used the same recipe. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
I love spaghetti! And I’m so thankful I found your channel! I will be copying this one and many many other videos of yours, you the man!
I am so excited to try this!! I would love a series where it’s meals for diabetics! I recently got diagnosed and I want to learn some good recipes that’ll help me and also my family (everyone is diabetic) all other TH-cam videos I watch don’t look as great so I want to see if this will be a good challenge for you and maybe possibly a series 🥺
Excellent idea. I'll see what I can do 👍
For lo-carb diabetics: substitute spiralized veg for the spaghetti. Zucchini, carrots mixed in. Delish and low carb. 🥰
It runs in my family as well. At 53, I still don't have it. I use Barilla veggie pasta, tomato sauces that are sodium and sugar free. Lots of spices and a packet or two of NutraSweet or Splenda to temper the acids from the tomatoes.. Additional finely diced veggies as well.
@@phyllisschapiro7894 yes! And they're delicious!
Looks so good but I would have put a pinch of sugar to kill the tomato's taste. Also, some red pepper flakes to give it that spice kick.
Nice!
This is the only page I come to when I want to cook!! AB recipes be on point... every last recipe
Even better than you say!!! Making my third batch right now and can't wait to serve it to our guests. THANKS FOR A KILLER RECIPE!!
How AB cuts himself off is hilarious man
Fire ass food as always
Lol 😆
Yessss when he cut himself off I know the food gone be bomb !! Lol

You just gained another loyal subscriber ❤️
I recently started living on my own and thus, am learning how to cook for myself. You made this recipe so easy to build on that even the non-cooks (like me) could follow along! I’m from the south & had to add some sugar, but this came out BOMB. Thank you AB 😊
Ashley...Try using 2-3 baby carrots minced, instead of sugar.
Making this tonight. I fry my spaghetti the next morning with veg oil and put two over easy eggs on top! Delicious! Last night I made your perfect steak and it was amazing! Thank you!,,
Thats how my mom used to do it in the projects. Everybody know what cha cookin in the neighborhood. Just a dab of sugar is all she would have added.
👍😁👏
Yes my mom added tomato paste to thicken the sauce too
I used to think adding sugar was weird. Now I add light brown sugar to my chili and spaghetti... 💣
The sugar cuts the acidity of the tomatoes and also adds great flavor.
Yes, I put sugar in mines too.
I've never made homemade sauce, I would use the bottle sauces and add ground beef BUT NOW I AM going to start making homemade sauce. Thank you AB 👍🏽🙋🏾♀️
Yes, its better the next day 😁
Looking good! My level up would be to add red wine instead of water and let the sauce simmer for a couple hours. And toss some parmesan rinds in the sauce!
This smelled and tasted absolutely delicious! I tweaked it a bit and added a small can of diced tomatoes that had garlic in it for an extra kick. And after trying Mr.Make It Happen spaghetti sauce recipe i decided to try this one also. I don’t plan on using the jar again !🤣🙏🏾
What are your thoughts on each sauce?
AB, your love for the garlic press is the reason I appreciate your channel. You keep everything real! You tickled me when you said using it excites your soul. Keep sharing your favorite tips, ingredients, and tools with us! I love to see your passion for cooking in each and every video.
Liked the idea of thinning it out. However my opinion is water is flavorless. How about a cup of chicken broth or vegetable broth.
Great suggestion 👌
I use broth in correspondence to the meat in my recipes Beef for Beef, Chicken for bird & pork.
That makes sense I'll try that next time thanks...
Dan, you might be on to something 🤔
Here's another next level application, substitute water for chicken broth when making mashed potatos/boiling rice.. Add salt, garlic & butter to the boil too(when it works for the dish)
Made this tonight and it was a HUGE hit with the family. Thank you
How many people in your family? What do you think the serving size is?
How long did you cook it for in total?
AB....I've tried both of your spaghetti recipes and both are the business! For quicker prep times I use this recipe. In the other recipe it takes a lot of patience to cook the tomatoes down for 3 hrs. I can cook it either the night before or early morning. I use ground turkey, veggie & I just used some plant based spicy ground sausage
You should have your own show on a black food network ✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Thank you for this because I’ve mastered hooking the jar with the envelope seasoning. I don’t do pork, but their is a sub I use from Iserno and it’s ground chicken. They have hot, or mild breakfast sausage in a roll and I use it in lasagna, biscuits and gravy, my breakfast sandwiches etc to replace pork. You Sir are AMAZING.🥰. I am going to try your method. My ONE concern is the noodles being to soft and what does the olive oil do that you poured into sauce?
If you undercook the spaghetti a little, then it will finish cooking in the sauce, and won’t be too soft.
Greetings. I love what you do!! How about adding a little tomato paste in the sauce. Some Texas toast on the side. Boom there it is. Just saying . ~Peace&Blessings ~
Yessir 🔥🤤🙌
Put some Hormel pepperoni in the sauce next time 👍
I know I’m not the only one that was taking square wonder bread and making leftover spaghetti sandwiches 🥪😎
U read my mind!
Loved doing it!!!
Never heard of that, but, if u can eat meatloaf sandwiches, then why not spaghetti sandwiches?
That sounds absolutely horrible. And super unhealthy.
@@b1k2q34 I’m sure as a kid you ate things far worse than spaghetti on bread. But thanks for your feedback. It was super impactful. 👍🏽
Omg I watch this video today and I just finish making this using the cento crushed tomato the taste is so amazing goodbye to store bought sauce thank you AB for this recipe 🥰🥰🥰
I had a friend in primary school whose grandfather used to make something like this for her all the time for lunch. I loved it so much he started sending an extra bowl just for me. Since I learnt how to cook, I've been trying to duplicate it but never knew how to. This is the closest recipe I've seen that resembles it. Thanks for this. I'm going to try!
Update?
AB, you need to make ya’ll some muffulettas. It’s simple: French loaf, good deli ham (boar’s head the best), good salami, provolone cheese, and olive mix (out the jar), brush with melted margarine and garlic salt . Dig out the insides of each side of bread, wrap in foil, 375 oven for about 20 min. Serve with a pickle and Ruffles potato chips.
Sounds good! I will try it too
@@peggymarie2524 yeah, I’m from North Louisiana, Ruston.
I'm watching this late, and you had to bring that up! Not gonna lie, that would be great to have right now!😂
Thank you for this! It turned out great. I never put olive oil in my spaghetti. I was a little worried at first. ♥️
I'm glad you tried it out! Thanks for stopping by🙏🙏🙏
@@SmokinandGrillinwithAB thanks 🇦🇺❤️💚that’s nice! I’m German/Australian 🇦🇺🇩🇪 I had a lovely itaiian Mum in law I would add mushrooms because I love mushrooms thanks nice recipe!! 😸🌈❤️💙💚🇦🇺🍸😸
AB, your spaghetti has my mouth watering!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Growing up in SC, my mom prepared spaghetti like that because we had a large family, and I make mine like that too!!! YUMMY!!! It has been a long time since I've made any. Now, I'm gonna have to make some!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing!!! 😀❤
Damn AB ,looks good bro
G Rich🙌🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks bro 🙌
I like mushrooms I my sketi 2
@@ryanmcadams1737 You gave me an idea 😋
@Bumble Bee no I'm good
When it comes to seperating the meat from the grease I just use a collander/strainer then put a metal bowl beneath it to catch the grease so it doesn't go down the drain. As far as serving it I absolutely think it's better the next day, especially if you mix the noodles in with the sauce. I also like adding sliced mushrooms to it. I just been using beef though, never thought about using pork. Might have to try that next time.
When I make spaghetti, I never eat it until the next day. So good!
1/5/22: Happy New Year! Your dish looks wonderful, but the only thing I would do different is to add some mushrooms, 1 tsp oregano, and a pinch of sugar to cut the acid in the tomato sauce. This was so inspiring that I'm making spaghetti today. Love your videos...TFS!
The angel hair, garlic bread and sauce looks delicious!
Looks like an excellent meal!
Im so excited! I actually have all the ingredients! Making this for supper tonight!
AB, that looks fire 🔥!!!
Had me rollin' at the end "I'm speechless" all them seasonings hit your mouth pallet and taste buds at the same time. Thanks for sharing, I'm making this tonight.
AB you are a miracle worker! The MAN! I took an online culinary course (my mother didn’t know how to cook) and the spaghetti sauce they made was with expensive ingredients and relatively flavorless. Made yours…simple, inexpensive and easy and WOW!
Ti do io una ricetta economica e gustosa, prendi i pomodori freschi li speli li tagli in due togli liquido e semini e il pomodoro lo fai a cubetti, un filo di olio in padella fai scaldare l'olio e ci metti aglio ben tritata poi metti i cubetti 2 minuti di cottura e stacchi metti un filo d'olio extra vergine un po' di basilico ed ecco un piatto economico e gustoso. Il formaggio non è obbligatorio io non lo metto.
I like all spaghetti noodles. Thick is ok. Reg is ok. Angel Hair I do like more, however it kinda gets sticky. So my go to is vermicelli. It's thinner than normal spaghetti (in america, not italy) but thicker than angel hair. It's absolutely perfect for both this recipe and home made asian dishes. The only thing is that it's slightly harder to find than all the other noodles.
I love the meaty consistency of the sauce. Looks delicious and I can't wait to try this method if cooking spaghetti.
Looks delicious! I’ll definitely replace the meat with turkey ! I always add sugar! Does anyone else? Just asking ☺️
Yes needs sugar for balance!
I am making spaghetti tonight. I instantly said lemme see if AB has a video. It looks delicious! I'm using your recipe tonight but I do have a question. Why add olive oil to the sauce? Why so much? I will give it my own twist with a dash of cinnamon and a pinch of sugar. (Don't judge 😂🤣!)
The oil makes it silky smooth but not greasy. Please trust the process and let me know what you think afterwards. 🤤
Aye AB listen, you’ve really taught me how you cook. Step by step and I really appreciate your videos brotha 🙌🏽
Reading these comments are so educational.... Imma have to try some of y'all tips
I use italian sausage mushrooms, onions green peppers, red pepper, miniced garlic the cheapest sauce and doctor it up with my seasoning
So many great suggestions here! Love it
Here’s one more tip, add some worchestire sauce to the meat when you’re browning it...adds great flavor!
Your spaghetti looks AMAZING! I stopped using jared spaghetti sauce long ago! Making your own sauce is so much better! I am definitely going to make it your way this week!
Red pepper flakes, my friend 👌🏻 Always good in Italian dishes.
No speak English, but spaghetti is delicious. Gracias
When he said using the garlic press excites my soul I felt that 😂
I make my spaghetti just like your mother taught you. I put extra Italian seasonings and basil because I like the taste. Delicious looking. Thumbs up.👍
Yes 🔥🤤🍝🙌
