Semi-Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
Report
I think we can all agree homemade is best, but not always possible! Homemade spaghetti sauce from scratch is actually one of those things that's really not hard to make, but it can take a little time to simmer before all the flavors really come together. That's why I created this Semi-Homemade Spaghetti Sauce recipe!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1 or 2 carrots cut into small dice
- 1 or 2 celery ribs cut into small dice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- salt to taste
- pepper
- 1/2 cup red wine optional
- 1 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
- basil fresh, for serving
- oregano fresh, for serving
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, for serving
- whole-wheat pasta cooked, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook while stirring until soft but not brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and turn the heat up to medium high. Brown the meat while breaking it up with a spatula.
- Drain off the fat and discard (I do this by putting the lid over top then tilting it to empty the grease through a small crack into a coffee mug or other heat-proof container). Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the red wine to the pan (if using) and cook until almost completely boiled off.
- Pour in the sauce and bring to a light simmer.
- Serve over noodles and garnish with fresh basil or oregano and Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- * Dairy-free if Parmesan cheese is omitted.
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
