An Easy Week Night Dinner Made Better from Scratch: Meat Sauce

[@dawnb5617]

My mom who btw was full on Italian would add a pinch of sugar. My aunt uses some grated carrot. I opt to just use San marzano tomatoes and that is enough sweetness for me. All that matters is that YOUR family enjoys it not someone else’s. ❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

I agree! Thank you for sharing. :)

[@pennywheeler2598]

Being Abbuzzi 100% italian. I think this American Italian style dish looks delicious.😋

Hi Sam I love pasta. Will make like soon

[@HAwfood]

Very delicious 😋

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! :)

Oh and I always smile, I have the same cookware and the same induction plate. Not that I cook on it anymore. Oh and I use Cento products whenever I can, they are SO good! Do you use De Cecco pasta? It's a little more expensive but worth every penny.

[@Cre8tiveOne66]

Sugar Spun, what's the best way to reheat lasagne without drying it out?

[@Javaman92]

HELLO Sam! You KNOW that I will be making this! I was thinking of you just yesterday. I was thinking that we seem to have the same preferences in tastes so I trust you when you say something is good, figuring I will like it too. So far we are batting 1000. 😀 I made your hummus recipe today, in fact I am eating it now with tortilla chips I made from corn tortillas I had around that needed to be used up. Man they are easy and good!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yay! I hope that you love this one as much as you’ve enjoyed the others! Thank you so much for trusting my recipes! 💕

[@pclem4686]

Is it a regular spaghetti with spaghetti and sauce?

[@pasadenacatpink]

Can you also use ground turkey or ground chicken for this recipe?

[@SugarSpunRun]

That will work. :)

[@rusty-ole-boomstick1268]

I Ran to my cupboard to check if my Spaghetti recipe was missing!! 😅 another comfort food IMO.

Sugar Spun, is silicon bakeware better than conventional and no matter what I do when baking brownies, the outer edge is always over baked. Ugh! Please help ❤

[@DwayneShaw1]

Those small bottles of wine are a good idea for cooking.. but you could also buy an inexpensive boxed wine, I've never had an issue with the boxed one's turning or going bad -- with the spigot they don't ever really get 'opened' no oxygen or ambient bacteria gets in.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't thought of doing that! I will have to test it out. Thanks for the tip! :)

[@DwayneShaw1]

@@SugarSpunRun You can also make your own wine VERY easily with various varieties of juice (with no preservatives) - and doesn't require a lot of special equipment all you need is a cheap air-lock for your jug, a little extra sugar (to boost the final alcohol content), a tsp yeast, and some time - depend on how strong and/or dry you want it, ferment for 2 - 8 months. * - you can just use a cap loosely screwed on for an air-lock. Or a balloon with a pin hole, but the water in an actually air-lock gives you a better visual of the fermentation and the rate the release of CO2 is slowing. ...my homemade stuff costs me about $2 a bottle (750mL)

[@Areyoukiddingme64]

Pretty much what I put in it too. I also add a small stick of cinnamon while it's cooking. Totally a Greek thing, I think.😂

[@SugarSpunRun]

Interesting. I'll have to give it a shot some time! :)

[@garyj1709]

I probably commit a worse “sin” by adding regular ketchup which adds sugar and gives the sauce a little snap. This is the way my mom cooked it and I can still taste it in my head! I have only used Heinz brand but there are many craft ketchups out there. I’m sure whichever kind one uses will agree with their pallet. Thanks for the recipe!

[@SugarSpunRun]

As long as you like it there's nothing wrong with it! I have never tried using ketchup, I'll have to experiment sometime. :)

[@lanceg133]

What? No garlic?!?!? (Or did I miss it?)

[@SugarSpunRun]

It's there. 2 Tablespoons of minced garlic. :)

[@deforrest5611]

WHO ARE WE? I ONLY SEE YOU SO ITS.... I WILL.... NOT WE. ALSO PUT ON A APRON WHEN COOKING . IT WOULD MAKE YOU LOOK MORE CONVENCING THAT YOU ARE A COOK / CHEF.

[@SugarSpunRun]

We don’t care.
