[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

To sweeten my sauce AB...I add chunks of brown sugar, I learned from mom, and use either dried or fresh basil.

[@bamaG1966]

@@GaryArmstrongmacgh Grape jelly. Trust me. Sweet wine no alcohol.

I put sugar. I also add bell pepper, and scallions

You probably won't respond to this... But could you ever do a review of your tattoos? I'm always curious about Californians artwork; they say some of the best ink work comes out of Cali. Can you please share? I'm in GA, by the way.

[@shirlgirl112]

I used to add sugar to my spaghetti sauce until a friend of mine was making sauce at work, showed me a trick her mother taught her. She added a couple of whole peeled carrots to her sauce. Depending on how sweet the carrots are, it adds that sweetness the sauce needs and removes the acid from the tomatoes. Once the sauce is done and the carrots are soft, just remove them. Since I have been adding the carrots, I don't get heartburn as much.

[@easygoing6397]

But all carrots might not be sweet enough to put that bit of sweetness you might want to add.

[@siggenis]

A true Italian sauce ALWAYS start with the sofrito (onion, celery and carrot). NEVER add sugar to a sauce! That's the Anerican way or something. Italians do not put sugar.

[@siggenis]

​@@easygoing6397you never add sugar to a sauce if you want to make authentic Italian sauce! You always start with the sofrito... always! Do it the right way!

[@cjohnson_]

That's not a "trick". That's how you make a red sauce. 😂

[@cjohnson_]

That's not a "trick". That's just the correct way to make a red sauce. I never heard of removing them. If you saute or shred them, they cook down.

[@jangles1839]

​@@drvalpartee9561I wouldn't personally say all foods but certainly seems that Italian and Mexican dishes are better after a day or two sitting in the fridge and melding together!

[@Metal_F0X]

Very true. Chili definitely wakes up after 24 to 48 hours

[@a.j.1819]

Definitely. Best eaten warm and not too hot as well

This looks so good. Pure comfort food. I always add sugar to my sauce....just a spoonful or two. Learned that from my mom. She did it to prevent heartburn from the tomato sauce.

[@robertrayl2357]

I agree spaghetti and chili is better the next day. Oh yea potato salad also.

[@pamelacarter7834]

And lasagna 😉

[@debraabron3414]

And gumbo!

[@Gabriel-z1n5c]

Instead of sugar, I grate up a bunch of carrots and let that soften up with the veggies. The shreds blend right in and make the sauce really sweet! I love watching you cook and the dialogue. Thanks!

I made baked spaghetti for dinner last night. So fire. I don't use sugar in my spaghetti though. But it was so good. Everyone loved it. I love spaghetti the day after because all the seasonings are really soaked in. 🍝 Ate some for lunch and will be eating it for dinner. 🔥😌

[@MD2Bee]

I don't use sugar either, never had, and it's always good. Everyone loves it. You don't need to use sugar, in my opinion

[@hardiebynum4550]

​@MzGiGi7 I agree 👍 although I've worked with ppl from southern Louisiana and they love sugar in theirs..all most to much for me!

[@MichaelJohnson-kx3ln]

Hmm, looks good, but afterwards toilet bowl playoffs 😅😂🤣

[@kelliannwashington6995]

Chopped carrots are better, they give flavor and natural sugars.

[@bigtymer501]

Now this is what you call comfort food!!! Absolutely exquisite! 🔥👌🏾

[@kathymallory1044]

I put sugar in my sauce too, a southern thing . I use tomato paste in addition to the sauce instead of the broth.

[@windycitywarrior71]

Sugar in pasta sauce is work of the devil

[@kathymallory1044]

It cut down on acid

[@GOLDMILLONS]

My favorite dish of all time spaghetti 🍝

[@diannarockymore8130]

Hello as Italian/ Black woman we add 2 tablespoons of sugar bc it removes the tin taste. Also we serve our spaghetti in a pasta bowl… I too love thin spaghetti noodles for sauces like the one u made.. angel hair is more for light sauces.. when I do Sunday sauce it’s a 3 to 5 hour sauce.. great job

[@mrkc10]

Looks like a perfect meal for NFL Sunday

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Yes! You already know. #GoDolphins

[@MichaelJohnson-kx3ln]

And the toilet bowl 😅😂🤣

[@jonidavis3796]

I add a chopped carrot in lieu of sugar, it cooks down nice and soft like the rest of the vegetables and reduces the acidity as sugar would. I also add mushrooms. I like it the day of the next day until it’s gone. Eaten with garlic bread. Not a big fan of leftovers but I make an exception for spaghetti and stew :) this looks so great. Some hot Rotel is good too.

[@bri.makuahine]

I make my great-grandfather's old Italian spaghetti dinner for Christmas Eve. It's been our tradition for generations. It takes a full 2 days to prepare, so by Christmas Eve night, I crash, but it's so worth it! I use Contadina paste rather than sauce, and boil it down at least 3 times. Last Christmas, I used beef tips, ground wagyu beef and ground lamb. It cooks for so long that the meat isn't chunky, but it's still very meaty. I also used my great-grandfather's meatball recipe and made it my own, my whole family loved them and said they were the best meatballs they had ever had! It really made it all worth it! I ♥️ family traditions!!

[@rosecityusa6120]

Day after is best when all the flavors fully combine after sitting overnight. Leftovers are 🔥F🔥I🔥R🔥E🔥‼️

[@steelerqueen436]

Lasagna tastes better too the next day 😊

[@Shea3224]

That’s REAL DEAL, 🔥FLAVORFUL Spaghetti right there!! 💜

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

:)

[@egbutler114]

I keep the pasta separated from the sauce until ready to serve. The spaghetti tends to get dried out by the pasta if you keep them together.

[@danyellg3079]

I keep mine separate also. I like kore noodles than sauce. Some people don’t so that way they can adjust theirs.

[@davidperry4310]

Mine doesn't dry out, I like a little extra sauce.

Spaghetti the next day all day long and twice on Sunday. The flavors “marry” overnight, just Iike with soup and oyster stew. And I like mine all mixed up in a bowl, too. And that “noodle water” sets it OFF. AB, you the MANE, for real! LOVE your channel!

Happy birthday 🎉

[@cornelj]

I wanted mine to be more colorful so green and red bell peppers is a must but what sold me about spaghetti is adding those tomato chunks fresh into the sauce. Then I like using chili flakes for some heat that leaves all the room for the flavor. So yeah, I understand. Spaghetti is good as a leftover as well so I turned it into a brunch and had like caramelized onions and red potatoes and it’s like a light sauce and more spaghetti noodles.

[@chuckm6592]

I serve my pasta and sauce separately. Have friends that prefer just a little sauce with their pasta, but I also have friends who like a little more sauce. So to keep them all happy, I serve the pasta and the sauce separate, and let them put on the amount of sauce they like.

[@cathypurnell9331]

That’s how I like it too, but I marinate my pasta in olive oil and a little butter with grated cheese, toss the pasta then add the sauce. Delicious 🌸

[@dorothyknox2218]

Yes i serve my the same way separate cause i have some family like to add kestup

[@triggb71]

I agree. For me, placing the pasta in the sauce while it's cooking or still hot makes the pasta too soft/mushy for me. I like the pasta to stay al dente.

[@tarabeeeeee]

I like my sauce separate from the noodles 🍝 as well.

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

Any type of stews, chicken soups, chili, spaghetti, enchiladas, hamhocks and beans... you name it. They're good the second day. But also great the first if well made.

FINALLY someone who DOESNT just pour the sauce on top of the noodles when serving. This is the only way to make spaghetti 😊 add some butter & some of that salt water you used to boil the noodles so the sauce sticks to the noodles & you're good to go 💪🏽

Amazing! Thank you for this...I always add a bit of sugar. My son says when he has spaghetti at other people`s homes, it doesn`t taste like anything. I think it`s the bit of sugar, and being from Newfoundland, I add Newfoundland wild savory to anything that has pork or tomato. Also, my friend told me that his Granny said that finding a bay leaf in your food was good luck for the year...but it has to be accidental. Thanks again for the wonderful recipes...

This looks lovely. Not my Nonna's sauce but that's the wonderful thing about cooking - it's all about what you and your family like! I don't put sugar in my slow-cooked Sunday sauce when I make it, but I use fresh carrots and good canned San Marzano tomatoes. For a quick tomato sauce made with passata, you usually need a little bit of sugar to temper the tomatoes, because they won't have as much sweetness.

[@wandameriweather2149]

Your spaghetti was 🔥🔥🔥🔥😋

[@mr.velocitystack4133]

Good stuff! Yes, I've added sugar for a better balance. I'd add mushrooms. Serving the day of I like go traditional by placing the sauce over top of the noodles. Leftovers all get mixed together for the next day.

Yes sir love that angel hairpasta and growing up cooking with my dad over the years when we make pasta sauce we put Brown sugar. And we put the spaghetti 🍝 in the bowl with the sauce on top

[@16thcentury318]

For my ground turkey or beef I add eggs, panko bread crumbs, Spanish onions or sweet, green bell peppers and mix in bowl. I cook on low with olive oil then add parsley and crushed garlic. Allow to cook medium doneness. I boil the spaghetti whole then drain water after 5-7 min. I use Rao’s marinara sauce and tomato paste for thickness. Add the meat portion/sausage and cook on low. Add a lil sugar salt or more olive oil. Stir a few times to commit the ingredients for marriage 😂 Fix your plate with two slices of white bread and make as a sandwich. The second day spaghetti taste much better.

For sweetening... brown sugar to taste and fresh or dried basil is good. Italian seasoning and oregano is also good for this. As for the Anduillie sausage...I'd rather put Zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms in my spaghetti. Also, use Sicilian sausage! Italian sausage and hamburger is quite enough, thanks! But I'd eat that, also! Cheers AB!
