Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • stirrer

Ingredients

  • 2 Cans of Velvety Tomato Puree
  • 2 Large Garlic Cloves minced for aromatic magic
  • 2 Cans of Crushed Tomatoes the luscious texture
  • 1 Whole Onion finely chopped for a symphony of flavors
  • 2 Teaspoons of Fresh Parsley the herbal confetti
  • 1 Teaspoon of Fragrant Oregano the Mediterranean whisper
  • 4 Tablespoons of Olive Oil the liquid gold from sun-kissed olives
  • 8 Tablespoons of Caramelized Sugar the sweet alchemy
  • 1 Teaspoon of Bold Black Pepper
  • 2 Teaspoons of Aromatic Basil the herbal flourish
  • 2 Teaspoons of Sea Salt the elemental touch

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Pour in the tomato puree and crushed tomatoes into the saucepan. Stir to combine.
  • Add the dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, black pepper, and salt to the sauce. Stir well to distribute the herbs evenly.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the sauce. Adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, sugar, or herbs according to your taste preferences.
  • Continue to simmer the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to blend the sauce until smooth.
  • Once the sauce has achieved the desired flavor and consistency, it is ready to be served. Pour it over the cooked pasta of your choice and enjoy your homemade Prego-style spaghetti!
  • If you have leftover sauce, let it cool completely before storing it in airtight containers. It can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Serve the Prego-inspired spaghetti sauce over your favorite pasta, and enjoy a delicious, homemade Italian meal!

Notes

  • For a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce before serving.
  • For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead.
  • This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegetarian version of the sauce, omit the garlic and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
