This is a very easy and tasty meat sauce to serve over your favorite pasta. I think traditionally you'd serve it over spaghetti but my kids like it with rigatoni and penne etc. Also good to make a baked ziti with or lasagna. I usually use minced garlic by the spoonfull so I am just guessing as to the amount of garlic. If you are a garlic lover used more, if not, use less. I think the origional recipe (from my mom) called for the addition of diced onion (add with the beef) and sugar (add with the tomatoes). I don't find a need for either of these things. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
28 ounces diced tomatoes |
15 ounces tomato sauce |
6 ounces tomato paste |
oregano |
Directions:
1. Brown ground beef in a large pan breaking it up with the spoon. I use an electric skillet.
2. Drain away the grease and add the garlic. Let it cook until you start to smell it and it starts to take on a little color. Don't let it burn. Stir often.
3. Add the tomatoes, the sauce, the paste and the oregano. Stir well.
4. Cover and gently simmer for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour +/-. It can cook for quite some time and be all the better for it.
5. Serve with your favorite pasta or use in your favorite recipe. I usually cook up a pound and 1/2 of rigatoni for this sauce.
