My Family Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- Spaghetti sauce is one of those staple Italian family recipes that gets passed down from generation to generation.
There really is no need to ever buy this pre-made because it’s incredibly easy to make and far better than anything from the store. Homemade food from scratch just tastes so much better.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 peeled and medium diced white onions
• 10 cloves of finely minced garlic
• 1 cup cabernet sauvignon
• 2 pounds loose mild Italian sausage
• 2 pounds ground sirloin
• 109 ounces san Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons dry oregano
• ¼ cup dry basil
• 1 ½ cups each grated pecorino Romano and parmigiana Reggiano cheese
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• ½ cup chopped Italian parsley
• sugar to taste
• sea salt and pepper to taste
• optional ½ cup tomato paste
Servings 40
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 70 minutes
Procedures:
1. Add some olive oil to a very large pot over low heat and cook the onions until they are deep brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
2. Add in the garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes.
3. Deglaze with red wine and cook until the amount of liquid is reduced by one half, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Place in the sausage and ground sirloin and cook over medium heat until it is cooked throughout, there should be no pink, while stirring often to break up any large chunks.
5. While the meat is cooking crush the whole peeled tomatoes with your hands to bite size pieces.
6. Put in the tomatoes, oregano, and basil and cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
7. Finish by stirring in the cheeses, parsley, balsamic vinegar and adjusting the seasonings with salt and pepper as well as sugar, if it needs it.
8. Lastly, thicken it by stirring in tomato paste until it is to your desired thickness. This is optional.
9. Toss with cooked spaghetti and serve.
CHEF NOTES:
• To Reheat It: Add your desired amount to a medium size pot and cook over low heat until hot. You can also reheat in a microwave safe bowl until hot.
• To Store It: To store the spaghetti sauce cool it in an ice bath in your sink or transfer to a refrigerator and cool it uncovered until it is cold, about 3-4 hours. Cover it and keep it in there for up to 5 days.
• To Freeze It: This will also freeze well covered for up to 3 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Make Ahead: You can make this up to 2 days ahead of serving it. Keep it in the refrigerator until 1 hour before serving it and reheat it until hot in a pot.
• This Recipe makes a lot so please hover your mouse over the servings amount and scale up or down to fit your desired amount needs. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
That recipe card that portions your food according to the amount you want is so cool.
I appreciate that you give your subscribers the tool to adjust serving amounts
It tells me that you care about us, thank you! Yes and your recipes are delicious 😋 as well
Today about an hour ago I got lucky. I found you! I've been watching your videos for the last hour and I need to stop so I can try one of your recipes. They are all sooo great! Today I'll start with the chilaguiles for breakfast then the salmon for lunch and the scallops for dinner. I like the spaghetti with meat sauce but I have stopped eating red meats. Muchas gracias and blessings!
this recipe looks mouthwatering 😋. Great job on the video as always 👍🏻
Thank you friend!
I love the way you do every classic traditional cooking. Thanks for the great recipes of all times .
I probably made this 20 times by now. It's the best homemade pasta sauce I've tried by far!!!
Oh my word. No one out there does the scale for the foodies that follow!! You are truly appreciated.
Chef, thanks so much for sharing this technique with us. I've made sauce for decades with precisely the same ingredients, but the onion and wine lead has elevated my sauce quite a bit - so delicious!
Billy you are the bomb!!! I made this to share with good friends. It was the BEST sauce I’ve ever eaten. I love all your recipes and when I want something extra good I turn to your page first. Thank you for never disappointing!!❤️❤️❤️
This is a good take on everyone's favorite American spaghetti sauce, and a nice blend of old world Italian with modern fresh tastes. One of the best recipes on youtube for family-style Bolognese.
You are so right about the carmelization of the onions. What a difference they make in any recipe.
You mentioned your dad like the thinner sauce which doesn't give him heartburn or acid reflux the trick my grandmother's used for 50 years throw in three or four whole carrots while cooking remove the carrots when they become soft they absorb the excessive acid from the sauce. DO NOT eat the carrots. I tried eating some of the soft cut carrots one time and had the worst heartburn I have ever had for 3 days that tells you how much of the acid was absorbed in the carrot and I only had one small piece of carrot that was cooked ! ! ! What the sauce after cooked did not give heartburn or acid reflux .
Interesting, never heard that but will definitely try it and pass it on. Thank you.
I do the same things but instead of carrots, I am putting 2-3 whole potatoe in it ... Someone give me this tips one day and seems to work 👍
I’m American Italian decent, both grandparents on both side Sicilian. I love my family recipe on sauce. We call it gravy. When the tomatoes fresh or canned were too acid, both my grandmother, and my Mother halfway through cooking added a pinch or two of baking soda. Not a lot. You see the sauce, gravy, foam up neutralizing the acid from the tomatoes. Continue cooking, for 15-20 minutes, before tasting again. If you feel it taste better, more acid free cook until it’s ready. Otherwise add a small pinch more. Works every time. To add natural, we add crushed fennel seed, gives a natural sweetness. Of course sweetItalian sausage , homemade meatballs, and a piece of pork butt, helps too. If you want the sauce gravy spicy, add a stick of pepperoni. Best wishes. My Uncles own an Italian restaurant, my Mother made the sauce/ gravy, she’s passed away, but the second generation still running it.Miss you Ma♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@patriciacrosby5053 great idea and that is a 100 year old trick which works. Do not forget the love our family put into recipes
I have used in the past some small fresh carrots & taken them out as it's a natural source of sweet & taking out some acidity.
Some family members look like I'm nuts for doing so but guess what, it works.
Spot on !
Wow !
Thanks for sharing.
Family recipes are always the BEST !!
Thanks for watching!
God bless you for your videos... Thank you for sharing all of these tips and hints you're awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You are my new favorite chef! Just discovered you. Your recipes are amazing and the fact that we can use that slider to make a recipe smaller or larger is genius.
I made this tonight and it was absolutely awesome, I didn’t change the recipe a bit. Yes I used as much meat as the recipe called for because I am planning on visiting a family member with four children and we’re going to have a wonderful spaghetti dinner with this meat sauce, thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.
Thank you for sharing : ) I will be trying this recipe out today.
Love the balsamic. I learned this trick last year and add it to beef stew and Salisbury steak too. It takes it over the top! Love your videos! Keep in coming. -xo mom who feeds 5 daily!!
The best spaghetti sauce ever. Thank you! 👍👍. I will follow this recipe. Thanks again! 👍💕
OMG the marriages you’re saving with these videos is saving people thousands of dollars, possibly millions in depositions
Can't wait to try this recipe out!!!!👍 Tell your Dad thanks for sharing it with you!!!🤗🤗🤗
Will do, thanks for watching!
Made this today and absolutely LOVED it!! Thank you for Sharing...
Looks absolutely delicious ! Love this recipe ! Yes, yes !
Thanks for watching!
Totally making this. Sounds way better than my recipe 😋. Thanks for posting and I'm gonna check out the website 👍
It seems so delicious. Thank you for instructing! 👍💕👍💕
Nothing in life is more satisfying than a huge plate of Spaghetti! Guaranteed to over indulge, every time. Yours looks fantastic.
And guaranteed to go into a sleep coma afterwards 😊
Hi chef
I'm from Brazil and i love your recipe.i'll try this for sure.thanks
A big thank you from Bloomfield Hills, MI. It's awesome.
Hi again.... I like the looks of your Dad’s sauce.... my mom would start with garlic, sometimes onion and oddly, she would sauté tomato paste for a few minutes to carmelize a bit. Then it would go forward with the Italian canned tomatoes, I like MUTI brand... so sweet and delicious. But I notice you use parsley, my mom was very heavy handed on fresh basil (basilico!!!). We would even sprinkle chopped fresh basil on our pasta at the table..... heavenly basil!!! Love your cooking!
did this tonight - tasted amazing! Thank you!!!
Can't wait to try this.. my grandfather was Italian, but died when I was young. I have fond memories of me helping him cook... I have tried to remember his recipes, but he never wrote them down lol. My sauces are always different, always changing, he never measured anything when he made the sauce, I never do either. I helped make the noodles once.. me standing on the step stool while he stood behind me both of us working the dough together. Maybe this will be the one that will taste like his or come really close or maybe it's better. Thanks for this, I can't wait to try 😁
Thanks for sharing that awesome story! I have a lot of the same experiences with my grandma, she didn’t measure a thing.
Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to make.
Will try, for sure. A pinch of baking soda will caramelize the onions beautifully. My mother was born in 1904. Her Italian cooking was divine like no other. Unfortunately, I did not cook with her growing up. Vague memories. Seemed to me, one important ingredient for flavor was pork in the sauce, which I often saw pork chops fried than bone removed instead of sausage at the beginning. Thank you for your video!
Oh my gosh the serving chart on your recipe cards is a lifesaver thank you so so much. I just wish you would’ve left a link to your website on here.😀
That is some delicious looking spaghetti.... I love the presentation of it at the end! Serving on the side of the spaghetti while drizzling some on top cool.😋👩🏽🍳🍷♥️
Thank you friend for watching. Super good!!!
Brother Parisi , awesome job . It’s midnight and I’ve just made this tastes incredible 🇬🇷
Wow! This recipe is very close to mine… I just don’t use wine unless I’m making a bolognese sauce for lasagne. And, because we like our food spicy in my family, we sometime add a little cayenne or Calabrian red pepper but the other ingredients were nearly identical. Just found this channel and am already very impressed with the recipes and techniques. Subscribed and a new fan.
Awesome! I always use balsamic vinegar to my sauce as well! That’s how my grandfather made it (he was French, Sicilian and Greek 😊)….tastes amazing!
I made this batch 4 months ago, only ate two servings, froze it in small container. I went for a long extended trip, and instead of preparing some dinner, I just got the sauce out, defrosted and oh man it was soooo good! Delicious. I just needed bread but it was scrumptious. Yum yum.
Been looking for a good recipe this seems great. Thanks also I subscribed based off this video
I made this, and it was outstanding,,,,,I got rave f review. I must say I have tried many of your recipes and never disappointed. I love how you teach….Have you ever thought about a online cooking school for home cooks? The techniques you give is taking my cooking to the next level. Thank you
Wow! I just made 1/2 recipe of this awesome sauce and I can only say WOW! Simply delicious.
I love your videos, precise and to the point 👌🏼
Love your channel! I just found you thru someone on the Aldi page linking your Loco Moco recipe.😊
I made for dinner tonight. Oh. My. Goodness. Best spaghetti ever.
Awesome!!!
Definitely going to make a huge batch of this soon! Spaghetti sauce freezes beautifully so I will probably double this and freeze it so I have amazing sauce on hand for months to come for my small army of boys. Thanks for another amazing recipe!
It’s a good one
Best cooking videos on TH-cam, Hands down. Thank you!
Wow! That's amazing. I always felt like a weirdo or that I wasn't "doing it right" because I didn't toss my spaghetti with sauce, so it's great to know that someone out there does that too--there really is nothing like the straight-up sauce once all the spaghetti is gone. Thanks for sharing this.
Yeah you definitely don't have to, totally up to you!
You do you- there is no right or wrong, and we can always learn from someone else's way of doing things. BTW we always do the sauce on top too.
I prefer not tossing it because I like to eat some of the pasta with no sauce at all! And some with lots of sauce, and some with a little sauce. And I like bites of just sauce with no pasta. I like the contrast between the pasta and sauce.
Every time you cut the root off your onions I curl up inside. Everyone I've seen up until now says to keep it on as an anchor point for your fingers and keep more of the onion, BUT, by cutting it you can take the skin off the onion so much easier. Your knife skills are stellar either way.
I made this last night. OMG, it was SO good!! I made half with meat and half without b/c my husband doesn't eat meat. That was a mistake, only make it with meat! The meat sauce is so good, I didn't change a thing.
Just made this and the family loved it. Added a bit more sugar and crushed red pepper. Thanks chef!
Holy crap. I cant wait to try this!!!
What a difference san marzano tomatoes and carmelized onions made !! Delicious !!
YAAASSSSS!!!!
This looks amazing! I’ll have to try it!
Thanks my friend!

Looks so good.
Thank you for all your recipes and your time. I tried your website to adjust the serving size. It adjusts the serving size very well when on the webpage but when you go to print it reverts back to the original serving size. I hope you see this and try it to see if it is my system or others have had the same issue. I really enjoy watching and learning from you. We all are in school every day. Again thank you.
Thank you sir. Never made my own sauce. I will try making your dad's recipe
Love this I will make it thank you
OMG!!!! That looks so mucho
Delisioso!!!! Im sure to try and make that home made sauce…. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That looks so fantastic
Thank you
Amazing!!!

I liked how you caramelized the onions.
I must try this recipe.
You're the best!!
Love your recipes!!! Thank you for sharing!! Any chance you can do an updated video for braciole
Already have a Braciole recipe video
You are awesome. Thanks for the information concerning balsamic vinegar. And how it contributes to the final result of the sauce.
This is nearly exactly the recipe I use for my lasagne sauce. It is really good.
I make my sauce similar to this but I've never thought about adding balsamic vinegar 🤔 I will try that next time. Thanks for the tip.
It brings out so much more flavor, you will love it!
Beautiful recipe
I always add egg, seasoned breadcrumbs, seasoning, basil, onions and beef ( and Italian sausage optional) cook it in chunks and it’s delicious
Omggggggggg that servings scale thing is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMART.
I never thought to use balsamic vinegar deff gunna try that nxt time. I'm always looking for new ways to cook. Really enjoy ur recipes.
really sets off the flavor! Thanks for watching!
Okaaaay! The website adjustments are dope!!!
Oo a website! Definitely going to be my go to
Thank you!
I'm hooked, you had me at sliding portion control.
Wow chef Parisi.. totally blown away by the recipe adjustment on your site!! Thank you 🙏🏼😋😋☺️😊
It’s a game changer!!
It is nothing less than brilliant!
Thanks!
Thank you for your great recipes and videos, Could you please tell me what kind of pasta pot you are using on this video. I really like it….deep enough to really cook the pasta with enough room…the ones i have used with inserts have been too shallow…yours looks perfect. Please let me know if it available????
Yum 😋
😲 wow
Yum!!
Made this for fathers day dinner and it was excellent.i likemushrooms in my sauce too when could I add the mushrooms🙂
This is a 10.
The longer it cooks the better.
I've always made my own sauce and this was the first recipe I actually tried and I don't think I'll ever go back to my own sauce. This is the best I've ever had.
Also, I made your pita bread, also the best recipe. I made it 3 times and 3 times I failed the puff 😪 not sure what I'm doing wrong. I made sure I didn't have any holes allowing steam to escape. I'm not giving up though
Have you ever added Worcestershire to the sauce. I know it doesn't sound good but think of a Bloody Mary. Maybe in place of the basaltic vinegar. Your sauce looks delicious and La will have to try it.
Serving slider - genius!
Totally and crazy I just discovered it!
Oh Billy, lovin’ on this recipe! Just made 3 dozen meatballs & sauce last weekend. Put rest in freezer but this makes me want to take some out for dinner tomorrow but have a bbq planned instead bc it’s 80 degrees here (yes, in January) and all the Northern fam & friends are making their way down here. Thanks for sharing the family recipe! Btw, help an Irish girl out...sauce or gravy?
Oh 80 sounds amazing!! Enjoy that one. CHeck out my chopped steak video for a mushroom gravy.
I love the Guardian Ware stock pot
Hi billy i'm big fan of you and your recipes and this one will be the next to impress the family, I love the slider on your website for the serving quantity but i would like to ask is there anyway you could incorporate a weight conversion tab on the recipe as i live in the uk and use kg & grams (or am i just being lazy😊)
I'll have to double check because I thought for sure I switched it to the metric system for my friends across the pond.
My mouth was watering while I was watching this even though I'm vegetarian!! Could you please share a vegetarian spaghetti sauce as well, sometime? Thank you!
I’ll see, I don’t mess with too much vegetarian stuff.
This is a great recipe and I have sometimes substituted the meat with cubed eggplant and mushrooms. Excellent.
