Spaghetti Sauce so good that Cthulhu would love it!

The great thing about Spaghetti is that it’s easy to make and feeds a lot of people. Of course the most important thing when talking about it is the sauce so here is a very special recipe…

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 15-ounce can stewed tomatoes
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 small yellow onion
  • 3 tablespoons dried basil
  • 1 tablespoons dried parsley
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • pinch red pepper

Directions:

Peel 4 garlic bulbs and 1 onion. Mince both and add to a large pot with a tablespoon of olive oil. Turn the pot to medium heat and stir occasionally until the onions become translucent.

While that is cooking, open the can of stewed tomatoes. Transfer to a bowl, and using a fork and knife, dice the tomatoes. Mix in 3 tablespoons dried basil, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, a pinch of ground red pepper, and salt and pepper to taste.

Once the onions are translucent, add the spices/stewed tomatoes mixture to the pot. Also add the two 28-oz cans of crushed tomatoes. Continue to heat the sauce until it starts to boil. You’ll know its boiling when spurts of it will jump upwards. At that point, lower the heat so that it will simmer, and put a lid on the pot.

Allow the sauce to simmer for thirty minutes. Stir regularly so that the bottom doesn’t burn.

  1. Hi! I have to ask…does the recipe really mean 4 garlic bulbs? Or should it be 4 garlic cloves? As I understand garlic head and garlic bulb both mean the whole item. A garlic clove is the smaller piece that is usually either planted for a new garlic plant, or it goes into a recipe.
    4 garlic bulbs in one batch of sauce would indeed make it monster-ous!
