Homemade spaghetti sauce doesn't have to simmer all day on the stove to be good. Try our recipe for Spaghetti with Meat Sauce that has simple ingredients and is table-ready in an hour.
How to Make It
Step 1
Warm a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring and breaking it up, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Drain off all but 1 Tbsp. of fat, if necessary. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic; sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in tomato puree, broth, Italian seasoning, bay leaf and 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to lowest setting and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring often.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente, about 10 minutes or as package label directs. Remove bay leaf from sauce and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Pour sauce over spaghetti, toss and serve.

The sauce ended up quite different than I had imagined it. It totally isn't like a canned spaghetti sauce. But with that being said, it was really yummy! I did add a dash of crushed red pepper. I will make it again sometime.
