Spaghetti Sauce Recipe From Fresh Tomatoes Homemade Pasta Sauce Rockin Robin Cooks

I hope you will try my homemade spaghetti sauce recipe made with fresh tomatoes. I use fresh tomatoes out of my garden for the freshest taste along with fresh herbs.

Much of my inspiration for this recipe comes from my father in law who is Italian and loves to cook pasta sauce.

Homemade spaghetti sauce recipe

Ingredients:
cup carrots, grated
1 yellow onion, diced
cup dry porcini mushrooms, rehydrated with water, then rinsed and finely chopped
cup warm water
Enough tomatoes to fill a baking sheet, about 4 - 5 cups tomato sauce
1 lb. ground beef
6 aidelle sausage, any flavor, sliced into coins
4 cloves garlic
cup celery hearts and extra leaves, diced
cup basil, fresh
1 tsp. Fresh sage, chopped
1 tsp. Fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp. Fresh oregano, chopped
Olive oil
Salt
pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 460 degrees F.
Remove the stems and the core from the tomatoes. Slice a shallow x in the opposite end of the stem end of the tomatoes. This will make peeling the skins easier.

Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and rub the oil over all. Place in the oven for 30 minutes. Take them out to cool and place the tomatoes in another dish to cool.

Pour the warm water into the mushrooms to rehydrate for 20 minutes. Pour the mushrooms through a strainer and rinse with water.

In a frying pan, add 2 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for 45 minutes stirring frequently. You will probably turn the temperature to low after the first 5 minutes. Remember you want to cook these low and slow.

Then add the mushrooms, increase the temperature to medium and continue to cook for 4 minutes longer.

Next add the celery and carrots to the onion mixture. If it looks a bit dry, add another teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Cook this another 4 minutes.

Pour the onion mixture into a stock pot. Peel the tomatoes and place them into a food processor and blend until you get a sauce. Add this sauce to the stock pot.

Add the sage, thyme, basil, and oregano to the sauce.

In the frying pan that you used for the onion mixture, cook the ground beef over medium high heat. Add salt and pepper.

Once the ground beef is done, drain the grease and place the beef into the stock pot. Add 1 tsp of salt to the stockpot.

Add the sausage and stir. Place a lid on the sauce and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

You can serve this sauce over pasta or zoodles. Enjoy!
