Gail's Italian Spaghetti Sauce
My cousin Gail is one "incredible" cook, which reminds me I need to get her to give me some more of her recipes. This spaghetti sauce is really good and easy. I adapted it a bit and used the crock pot. I actually tripled the recipe so I would have "on purpose" leftovers. My plan it to make a couple spaghetti casseroles and freeze them. I will first give you the original recipe and then my adaptations. Gail's Italian Spaghetti Sauce 1 lb. Italian sausage 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 medium onion, chopped ! cup water 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. crushed oregano 1/2 tsp rosemary 1- 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1 6 oz. can tomato paste 1 tsp. sugar 3/4 tsp. basil 1 bay leaf Brown sausage with onion and garlic. Drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Serve over hot noodles. Serves: 4-6 CROCK POT ADAPTATION X 3 1 1/2 lbs. regular sausage, cooked and drained. 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 Tablespoon salt 1 Tablespoon crushed oregano 1 Tablespoon sugar 2 - 8 oz. tomato sauce 3 - 6 oz. tomato paste 1- 14.5 oz can of diced tomatos 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cups water 2 1/4 teaspoon basil 3 bay leaves Place all ingredients in crock pot and stir to mix. Cook on high for 1 hour and then turn to low and cook 2-4 more hours. You can also start out on low and cook all day. *I have also used hamburger instead of sausage and it is also good. Use the kind and amount of meat that you like. *I left out the rosemary and used regular sausage even though my hubby would of preferred the Italian. I also ended up cooking it about 6 hours because of an unplanned carpool trip. It was so good!! Check out other crock pot recipes at Crock Pot Wednesday!
