Jamie's Homemade Spaghetti Recipe

Here is a much easier, and I hear, better version of homemade spaghetti sauce:

Ingredients

4 cups (2 14.5-oz cans) stewed tomatoes

2 cups (3 6-oz cans) tomato paste

2 cups (2 8-oz cans) tomato sauce

2 cups water

4 whole bay leaves

2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp black pepper

2 pinches oregano

2 pinches rosemary

3 Tbsp parmesan cheese

2 whole small onions (or one medium-large yellow onion)

1 tsp salt

10 pinches parsley flakes

2 lbs Italian sausage

Method to the Madness

1. Chop the onion(s).

2.Brown the sausage either as links cut into 1/4" - 1/2" thick slices or as ground sausage.

3. Mix all ingredients together in a large pot and simmer for 4 hours, stirring occasoinally and taking care not to burn the sauce.

Thanks Jamie!
