So glad you liked it! It really is SO easy! If you partake in dairy products, I’d highly recommend trying out our brand-new recipe for Homemade Alfredo Sauce. Here’s the link: https://www.budgetbytes.com/homemade-alfredo-sauce/

Love this! I only had canned diced tomatoes on hand, so I pulsed them in the blender for a few seconds and then used them in lieu of crushed tomatoes. So good!

I’m hesitant to give suggestions that we haven’t tested because they might not be successful. We have some similar recipes that might work out slightly better than this one for your end goal:

Hi Beth,

Would this sauce turn out with out the ground beef? I want to make meatballs on the side

Hi, Janet! I think the main reason that Beth didn’t use garlic in this recipe is that it keeps the ingredient list extremely short, helping to make the sauce as easy and budget-friendly as possible! But please, don’t let that stop you from adding it to your dish! It will be fabulous and make the dish all the more flavorful. I would add it after you saute the onions. ~Marion :)

I didn’t expect much from “spaghetti sauce”— so simple. But YUM! We don’t eat spaghetti often because I don’t love pasta, but this was SO much better than watery jarred sauce! The kids ate it with pasta; I ate it over roasted cauliflower one night and PLAIN the next night, with crusty sourdough bread. This will definitely be a regular. I doubled it so the 4 of us had it 2 nights.

Six servings. That’s about 6 cups of cooked pasta. XOXO -Monti

I use ground turkey instead of beef and fresh herbs when I have them. Sometimes I add shredded zucchini and carrots (I got the idea from the Hidden Vegetable Pasta Sauce recipe), and a splash of pasta water to thin it out a little. My family can’t get enough of this, and I don’t think I’ll simmer sauce on the stove all day ever again!
