Browse Our Collection Of Simple Pasta Recipes and Prepare Yummy Meals! I'm calling this kid friendly spaghetti sauce because, I generally like to put actual onions and garlic into my spaghetti sauce. However, my little one would turn her nose up at that in a heartbeat, and seeing as how she specifically requested spaghetti this week, I figured that I ought to oblige her with something that would suite her desires today, rather than my own.
To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have kid-friendly meat sauce for pasta using 12 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Kid-Friendly Meat Sauce for Pasta:
- Get 1.5 pounds 80/20 ground beef
- Take 2 medium onions, minced
- Get 6 large cloves garlic, minced
- Get 2 Tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive work fine)
- Prepare 1 Tablespoon dried basil
- Get 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Prepare 2 bay leaves
- Get 1 Tablespoon tightly packed brown sugar
- Make ready 1/4 cup ketcup
- Make ready 2 (28 oz.) cans tomatoes
- Get 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Prepare 1.5-2 teaspoons kosher salt
Allow to come to a boil over medium-high heat. I recommend a screen on top to minimize mess. . . as the sauce thickens up the breaking bubbles tend to splatter. I don't like marinara sauce very much, but I've been wanting some easy kid-friendly pasta sauce. It was even better the second day.
Steps to make Kid-Friendly Meat Sauce for Pasta:
- In a large pot (4 quarts minimum), bring 1 Tablespoon oil to medium high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks, and seasoning it with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Using a large cooking spoon, move the cooked meat to a bowl or plate and set aside. Remove some or all of the grease from the beef to your liking. (I like to leave about half for flavor.)
- Add 1 Tablespoon oil into the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and sweat the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent. This should take 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add in the dried herbs, stir them in, and give them a minute to bloom in the oil.
- Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients, including the ground beef, give it 3 or 4 gentle stirs to mix everything together, and simmer with the lid askew (about 1/4-inch opening on one side) for a total of 45 minutes on medium low heat, stirring every 10 minutes or so to redistribute the ingredients and to make sure the sauce isn't burning on the bottom. If you can scrape stuff off the bottom during a long simmer, your heat's too high, and you should adjust down accordingly.
- During the long simmer's a good time to boil and drain your pasta.
- Before the last 10 minutes of simmer is a good time to adjust your seasonings as well.
- Enjoy! :)
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. To use: thaw in the fridge, place sauce into a saucepan on the stove top and heat. Cook's Tip to Serve: Letting the pasta and the sauce cook together for a few minutes before serving allows the past to absorb some of the sauce. It's like the pasta is sauced from the inside out. Add seasonings and tomato sauce to the pan.
