Using freshly minced garlic will also bring about the best flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato Paste:<\/strong> adding the tomato paste helps to thicken the sauce, but it also brings a strong flavor that is heightened when stirred in and cooked after the onions and garlic are cooked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diced Tomatoes or Crushed Tomatoes:<\/strong> for a smoother sauce use crushed tomatoes and for a chunkier sauce go with diced tomatoes.

You have the control to choose the consistency, adjust the seasonings, or make it meatless. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Thinner Sauce:<\/strong> For a thinner sauce, that is big on tomato chunks use canned diced tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thicker Sauce:<\/strong> Use crushed tomatoes for a smoother sauce that has a thicker base to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> You can add more than 5 garlic cloves for added flavor. You can also substitute 1 tablespoon of garlic powder if you dislike the fresh garlic pieces&#8217; texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> I think sugar is the secret ingredient because it enhances the tomatoes&#8217; sweetness and balances out the acidity. You may omit the sugar if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs:<\/strong> Italian seasoning has all the wonderful herbs that add flavor to this sauce, but you may add additional oregano and <strong>fresh<\/strong> basil if you&#8217;d like to intensify the herbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meatless: <\/strong>You can easily leave the meat out of this sauce for more of a marinara-type sauce. If you choose to leave out the meat I suggest using a 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes and a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout cwp-large\">\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__icon\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-leftovers-callout__icon --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__inner\">\n<div class=\"block-leftovers-callout__content cwp-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-store-spaghetti-sauce\">How to Store Spaghetti Sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Homemade spaghetti sauce is perfect for storing in the fridge and the freezer!

Ground Beef: the type of ground beef is entirely up to and you can also switch out the ground beef for ground sausage. Yellow Onion: the onion brings a mild bite to the sauce which is a key flavor in spaghetti sauce. Garlic Cloves: these minced cloves bring the most powerful flavor that is so common in Italian recipes. Using freshly minced garlic will also bring about the best flavor. Tomato Paste: adding the tomato paste helps to thicken the sauce, but it also brings a strong flavor that is heightened when stirred in and cooked after the onions and garlic are cooked. Diced Tomatoes or Crushed Tomatoes: for a smoother sauce use crushed tomatoes and for a chunkier sauce go with diced tomatoes. Either one makes a delicious sauce. Water: this helps to bring the sauce together and you may use more or less to thicken or thin it. Sugar: This helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes with a little sweetness. Worcestershire: The umami flavor this brings to the sauce makes the meatiness deeper and more complex. Italian Seasoning: this classic spice adds a peppery flavor to the sauce. Grated Parmesan Cheese: Adding parmesan cheese is optional, but strongly suggested for that delicious cheesy flavor. Fresh Basil: the fresh aroma of this peppery-flavored leaf also adds a small hint of mint.

Tips for Making the Best Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Make homemade spaghetti sauce just the way you like it! You have the control to choose the consistency, adjust the seasonings, or make it meatless. Here&#8217;s how: Thinner Sauce: For a thinner sauce, that is big on tomato chunks use canned diced tomatoes. Thicker Sauce: Use crushed tomatoes for a smoother sauce that has a thicker base to it. Garlic: You can add more than 5 garlic cloves for added flavor. You can also substitute 1 tablespoon of garlic powder if you dislike the fresh garlic pieces&#8217; texture. Sugar: I think sugar is the secret ingredient because it enhances the tomatoes&#8217; sweetness and balances out the acidity. You may omit the sugar if you prefer. Herbs: Italian seasoning has all the wonderful herbs that add flavor to this sauce, but you may add additional oregano and fresh basil if you&#8217;d like to intensify the herbs. Meatless: You can easily leave the meat out of this sauce for more of a marinara-type sauce. If you choose to leave out the meat I suggest using a 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes and a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes. How to Store Spaghetti Sauce Homemade spaghetti sauce is perfect for storing in the fridge and the freezer! I like to make a big batch to have on hand in the freezer for busy days. In the Refrigerator: Place the spaghetti sauce in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. In the Freezer: This sauce can easily be frozen and saved for later. To freeze the sauce let it come to room temperature before placing it in a ziptop bag or an air-tight storage container. Make sure to include the date. The sauce will last for about 6 months in the freezer.
