Geez, Goob...talk about tempting fate!!
I always make mine from scratch, but don't use a recipe, so it's kinda whatever's on hand. I throw the ground beef (lots) into the pot with a bit of olive oil, then when it's partly cooked, I add onion, mushrooms, green peppers and any other assorted crunchy type veggies that might be available (zucchini, carrots, etc.), add a TON of garlic (I am Ukrainian, after all!!!), oregano, basil, dill, onion powder, salt (if wanted) and pepper, as well as a bit of cayenne pepper. Then throw in a good dollop of red wine and let it all simmer (note: on TOP of stove, not in it!!!!! ) for about 20 minutes. Then I add chopped tomatoes and let that percolate for a bit. Finally, I add tomato sauce, and a little bit of tomato paste (depends on how tomatoey you want it...me, not too much!) and let it simmer on low heat for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally so that it doesn't burn on the bottom. Turn it off, let it sit on top of the stove covered for a few hours (until cool) and you're good to go!
Or, as suggested...order out!! Good luck, and try not to incinerate anything, including you, Bryan and the dogs!

You need a very big pot for sauce.
So Umm how is it going? Please let us know that you are in one peice. I have a mental pic of you and your kitchen COVERED in tomatoes and would like reassurance that this is not so.

I was wondering the same thing. What's the oven got to do with spaghetti sauce?Originally Posted by oceangirls
They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon

I have to tell you, I held my breath as I was reading this.....just waiting for the post from Goob that read something like "We're ok! I'm logging on from the hotel lobby because most of the house is gone, but we're alright!!!"
Dang Goob, don't scare me like this! I ain't gettin' any younger and my heart cannot take this kind of suspense!
Sorry your sauce didn't work......and John wonders why I don't even try to cook.....

Just buy the canned tomatoes. The sauce will taste fine and you don't have to mess with it.
I briefly considered the remote possibility that she was planning to roast tomatoes, peppers, and garlic to puree to make the sauce with :liplick:, but then I realized at that level of culinary expertise, she wouldn't be asking us how to make sauce in the first place.Originally Posted by Patt
