Nearly every family in North America eats spaghetti, so it is not surprising at how many spaghetti sauce recipes there are out there. Some are a family secret that are handed down to new generations, while others are eagerly shared with friends and family members so that everyone has a chance to enjoy it. Did your mom have a favourite spaghetti sauce recipe? Perhaps you should ask her, if you remember enjoying it as a child.
If you want to start a family tradition, invent yourself a spaghetti sauce recipe and then keep it a secret from everyone else. Pass it on to your daughter when she gets married, and then she can do the same to her daughter and so on. Or, you can just make it up as you go along, this way you will never make the same sauce twice, and every time will be a brand new experience.
Some of the easiest spaghetti sauces around simply involve taking a jar or premade spaghetti sauce of any flavour and then adding your favourite ingredients to it. These ingredients can include herbs and spices, cooked meat, vegetables or other items that you enjoy with your spaghetti. Acceptable meats include ground beef, chicken or turkey, and if you are making an Alfredo sauce you can always saut some chicken or seafood to add on top of your creation.
What type of spaghetti sauce recipes you may like will depend on your taste. Some sauces are thick and smooth, while others are chunky and spicy. Personally, I can’t stand chunks of tomato in my sauce, thanks to a childhood trauma, and I won’t eat a sauce that has chunks. The less complicated the spaghetti sauce recipe is, the more I like it. On the other hand, if you love chucks of veggies in your sauce, you want to look for a recipe that calls for a lot of slicing and dicing of fresh veggies and spices.
If you remember your mothers home cooking fondly, go ahead and ask her for her favorite spaghetti sauce recipes, and have a go at recreating them. You may even want to add your own special touches to make the sauce your own. A good sauce is one that you can easily make, tastes great, and pleases your whole family. If that means opening a jar, then so be it. No one can complain if they don’t know, right?
