Homemade Spaghetti Sauce | Prepping for the Tribe - The Papa's Kitchen

This is going up today while we're in the middle of Hurricane Ina. We are well here on the East Coast of Florida, but we're getting lots of rain and tornado activity around us. Thanks for keeping ALL the Florida folks in your thoughts and prayers.
With the price of everything going up, up and up, I decided to at least fight back a little, by making my own batch of Spaghetti Sauce. This recipe is FULL of flavor and super easy to make. Make sure you use good ingredients (meat and tomatoes) and everything else will work wonderfully. This recipe (a PDF below that you can go to) makes 6 quarts and will freeze nicely for 3-4 months, although mine will all be gone by the time the OUR TRIBE gets here next week and then leave :)
You will love having this sauce around - I keep one unfrozen in the fridge, for those meals you don't want to have to work at. Cook up some noodles and away you go. ENJOY!

Papa’s Kitchen is number One. And Nana you do a excellent job filming Papa and your input. Excellent job to the both of you.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yummy!!!! 😋 your sauce looked delicious!!!! You are so right about the cost of spaghetti sauce!!!! It’s ridiculous! I saw it on sale 2 for $10!!!! Ten dollars?!?!no meat in it where do they come up with these prices?! Its nuts! You know I remember being a kid growing up in the 70’s and mom would go grocery shopping every two weeks and if we ran out of things during that time we did without. But the cart would be bursting to overflowing and then she would get this extremely long receipt we used to joke she could use them for wallpaper but I remember looking at all the prices and they would be under $1 very seldom usually just the meat would be more but these days barely anything is under $1! To buy the amount of food my mom used to buy I would guess it would easily cost $1200. in todays prices back then it was never over $150 and we ate incredibly well and mom baked and we had three meals a day and snacks. I don’t know how families are surviving today with the price of food. It must be soooo terrible to be a working adult and still need to use the food bank. It’s so sad the way the world is going.

[@jillgott6567]

You two are great fun to watch very sweet grandparents and love that you have your own channel

[@ritabaker3113]

Prayers as you wait for hurricane Ian. Please pray for all the people who are there to restore power, etc after the storm. My son is there with an electrical contractor crew. We live in Kentucky Blessings

Watched the news, that’s a devastating storm. Stay safe & well. We will all be relieved to hear from you after the storm. You are In our prayers. Warm hugs to the whole state of Florida.

Papa's Kitchen keeps delivering very delicious meals each week I am going to make the homemade spaghetti sauce looks delicious I have all of recipes to everything you made my family has loved everything. Papa's Kitchen is just a treasure .

[@thepapaskitchen]

Sounds great!

[@donnamckeller2010]

Looks so good, I might have to make some tomorrow night for dinner. Pasta dishes always get pushed back and switched out around here, that sauce just might bring back the pasta nights 🍝 Praying for you all to be safe through the storms. May our Heavenly Father keep His wall of protection around you all 💕💕

[@dancieteague6854]

Sauce looks great. In my home ec class many years ago. I was blessed when a friend's granny from Italy visited taught us how to make a true sauce. It was so good. She said if it's time of year can't the right tomatoes. Use in the can Cento San Marzano tomatoes. They are canned from Italy and nothing added. They taste great. I used those at times and then used what's best price. I think if you flavor right that's what count. Praying y'all are safe and all of Florida. My sister lives there and she said yesterday the river behind her house was almost to the banks. So they watching the water levels. God be with you.

[@leopardvixen2242]

I just commented I only Cento! I use half crushed tomatoes and half whole, peel, San Marzano. I usually use three, 28oz cans of each. All San Marzano are too sweet and too expensive! They cost about $5 per can where I live in NY! Also, when you buy San Marzano tomatoes, always look for the DOP seal and never buy ones that say "San Marzano style tomatoes ". You want to make sure you're buying the real thing! I was lucky and grew up with lots of Itallian friends with Italian grandma's! Going to their houses after school on Mondays was the best! We were always served a huge feast of incredible leftovers from Sinday dinner! Better than any Italian restaurant I've ever been to! It's awesome you have that memory!

Hello Papa's kitchen....Spaghetti is my all time favorite food to eat. I especially make it during the fall time. Make a nice pot of it and then freeze the leftover sauce. Easy warm up after a long day of working. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Praying for all the Florida folks! Please take all precautions to be safe! Thank you for this recipe- I’m going to give it a try- We love meat sauce (or Italian gravy) in our house. I’ve never made it with balsamic vinegar, but so typically add a few T of honey. Cheers to Mama and Papa from the evergreen state-

[@leopardvixen2242]

Love this video! I'm a NYer, born and raised in and around the city, so I'm definitely one of those people who is super picky about red sauce! I couldn't tell what brand of canned tomatoes you used, but I'm a huge fan of Cento! When I make marinara or a giant vat of Sunday gravy, I use all Cento tomatoes! I usually use six 28oz cans, 3 of regular crushed tomatoes and 3 of whole, peeled, San Marzano tomatoes I crush by hand like you. I pour them into a huge mixing bowl, put that in my sink and crush them there. Makes it easier to clean up! San Marzanos are very sweet and very expensive, so just using half cut the acidity and the cost perfectly! I love very thick, very garlicky red sauce. I've been known to use a whole head of garlic in 1 pot! I Sautee the garlic just until its very fragrant then I add a 12oz can of tomato paste, stir it until the garlic is fully mixed in, then cook it low and slow for about 15 minutes, so the paste gets a bit thicker and darker, it gets caramelized. Then I add a splash of red wine to declare the pot and stir in the 6 cans of tomatoes. I let it simmer with a mesh screen for a couple hours if I make marinara. If I make Sunday gravy, I let it simmer for 90 mins, drop in my meatballs and sausages, let it simmer another 2 hours. I haven't made red sauce in awhile, you've just inspired me to! Thanks! Your family is so lucky to have a Papa who cooks for them with so much love! I'm sure everyone will love your sauce!

I always make my own sauce, i was surprised you didnt brown the meat before adding the wine, i use a mixture of minced beef and pork but i might add sausage now for more flavour also unusual to see you add the cheese to t he sauce and not add afterwards when serving I h ave never seen that before, you live and learn ,I always add a bit of sugar to bring out the sweetness in the tomatoes but I think the Balsamic would do the same thing I might try that, you have inspired me ,it looks like Spaghetti Bolognese will by on the menu this week for Sunday night dinner 😁👌

I did. Maybe didn’t show it right on the video
