Spaghetti sauce recipe?

Does anyone have a recipe for homemade red sauce?  I would really like to make my own.  TIA!

Yes, can I send it to you later? In the middle of cooking right now, but I'd love to share it with you! I actually make a huge batch and then can it. Once you start making homemade sauce you'll never go back!

We always make a meat sauce and start off with a piece of pork and sausage in the bottom of a big pain with olive oil and a whole onion peeled and cut in half.   Oh and a few cloves of garlic

Once the meat is cooked pretty well...doesn't need to be fully cooked b/c it will cook more in the sauce.  Then we add the cans of crushed tomatoes (we use Red Pack and Tuttorosso mixed)  and a small can of tomato paste.  We also like to get one green pepper, clean it out and cut it into 4 big pieces and toss that in

We then season it with oregano, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Cover and let it cook.  We normally start our early in the afternoon and let it cook for a few hours on lower heat so all the goodness cooks in

 Oh and of course we have some meatballs that we add in too!!  Enjoy!

Now I'm hungry

I had it all written out and my page closed out..I only make my own, this is the recipe I made at the last Italian restaurant I cheffed at. 

1 md onion chopped

2-3 cloves of garlic chopped

olive oil

1 lg can diced tomato

2 T tomato paste

fresh herbs, basil, parsley , thyme or the dried mix

crushed red pepper optional

salt and pepper to taste

I add some red wine sometimes too

Parmesan rind 

 

saute the onions and garlic till soft, add paste, add crushed tomatoes and stir well, turn to low add spices etc.   Let cook 2 hours,  I have a stick blender I use b.c I don't like chunky sauce, serve as is if you like the sauce chunky.  Otherwise blend, it freezes really well if you want to do a big batch too.

oh, take the rind out before blending, it's super good on some crunchy bread.

im making sauce right now actually started at 9 am

i make a ton in my big pot and freeze it.

so this is what i do

i use 8 lg cans of tomatoes or the contadina cans of "sauce" which is just blended tomatoes. it depends on if i can find cans of whole italian plum tomatoes. if using whole tomatoes put them in the blender.

2 large cans of tomato paste, or 4 of the little ones

garlic salt

garlic powder

onion salt

onion powder

basil

salt

pepper

and a bit of oregano

and then i brown some garlic in olive oil (about 4ish cloves, maybe more depending on if you like garlic) and then when it is done pour it into the sauce

simmer for about 6 or so hours.

and voila, delicious.
