Mom's Garden Spaghetti

Created by Kchurchill5 on January 2, 2012

Olive oil
Seasoning
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning. Add more if you like after it simmer a while, it will develop as it simmers
1 whole clove
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons fresh basil, fine chopped
Pinch of sugar, more or less depending on how sweet you want it
1 teaspoon or more of fresh cracked pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt or sea salt, again more or less according to taste
Fresh parsley, about 1/3 cup
Garnish
Parmesan cheese

Step 1: Meat ... In a large pot, saute ALL the vegetables in a little olive oil 3-4 minutes. Then add in the beef and turkey and continue to cook on medium heat until the meat is no longer pink.
Step 2: Sauce ... Then, add in the tomato paste scraping up any bits off the bottom of the pan and then the wine and continue to cook a couple of minutes, again scraping any bits off the bottom. Add in the water, broth, tomato puree and stewed tomatoes and mix well. Next, add all the seasonings except the parsley, basil, and red wine vinegar. They are added at the end of cooking. Bring to a light boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer at least 1 hour, 2-3 hours is even better. I often make this a day ahead.
Step 3: Serve ... Right before serving, add the parsley, basil and red wine vinegar. ENJOY over your favorite pasta; and of course, garnish with parmesan cheese.
