I was taught how to make this spaghetti sauce when I was old enough to start cooking. I have changed it ever so slightly over the years to suit my smooth-sauce loving self.
I can usually have this sauce ready by the time I can get the spaghetti noodles cooked. From start to finish, this meal takes about 20-25 minutes to cook.... MUCH faster then any delivery food and MUCH better for you!
I recently made my brother 9 quarts of this sauce without meat to store in his freezer so he could easily brown hamburger, boil noodles, and have a homemade dinner ready without any trouble. Just in case he'd like to be able to cook it from start to finish, I've taken a lot of pictures and tried to break down the steps to help make this easy sauce even easier.







If you whack a clove of garlic with something heavy (a mug, a can, etc), the peel will come off very easily.
Peel the garlic
Dice the garlic finely.
When the onions are fully cooked and tender, add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more.



1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups of water (depending on how thin or thick you like your sauce)
3/4-1 tsp. salt (I start with 3/4 tsp. then add a bit at the end if it needs it)
pepper to taste
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Stir together and set heat on low. Add back in the ground meat (if you want a meat sauce). Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for seasoning. Serve with pasta.

This recipe makes enough for 1 pound of pasta.
