I am not an amazing cook but I am attempting to learn. My personal favorite dishes have always been Italian food so I thought I would search for a very simple spaghetti sauce recipe so I might try something other than the sauce that comes out of a jar at the supermarket. I thought spaghetti would be easy enough so I got online and started trying to find recipes.
Within seconds of typing in my search term I came across a recipe on allrecipes.com that looked outstanding. It was an Italian spaghetti sauce recipe and also a meatball recipe. This particular recipe received 1755 reviews from folks that had tried out this recipe at home and with all of those critiques it got an average 4.5 star rating. That sounded pretty good if you ask me so that would be the very first one I tried out. To make the sauce you need some onions, some garlic, some olive oil, salt, some sugar, some tomato paste, a little bit of basil and also ground black pepper. Making the sauce is rather simple, all you really need to do is sautA533; the onions and garlic in olive oil and then combine all of the additional ingredients together and let it simmer for about an hour and a half.
When I was looking online I also discovered a spaghetti bolognese sauce recipe but the directions on how to prepare the sauce were so long that it was fairly daunting. I may have to just try this recipe sooner or later though because it received 486 critiques on the web as well as an average 5 star rating. However when I begin trying to make it it may not have the same 5 star flavor that it is intended to have. I might have to stick to a number of simple recipes before I tackle a recipe that is beyond my personal comfort zone.
I did make the meatballs that were a part of the first recipe mentioned and those happened to be pretty easy. All that is needed for that recipe is a pound of lean ground beef or even ground turkey. One cup of fresh breadcrumbs, some dried parsley, fresh Parmesan cheese, a bit of black pepper, some garlic powder and one egg. You blend all those ingredients into twelve meatballs and after that they’re ready to cook and when they are done they are scrumptious.
