Cooking Instructions
- 1
Brown the ground beef and sausage in a skillet with the butter, 1/2 onion, 2 cloves of the garlic, small can of black olives (include juice), 1/2 can of stuffed green olives (discard juice) and a dash each of salt, black pepper and chili flakes
- 2
Pour the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste into a large sauce pan, add the other three cloves of garlic and dashes each of the salt, pepper and chili flakes.
- 3
Pour everything in the skillet into the tomato-filled sauce pan and simmer for up to three hours, stirring often and occasionally adding a cup of water so that it doesn't thicken too much. Thirty minutes before you decide that it's ready, mutilate the fresh vegetables and add them to the red heaven in the sauce pan.
- 4
Cook up your favorite pasta, pour sauce over it and enjoy. You might consider using a plate, rather than eating it straight out of the pan like a bachelor.

This is a very thick pasta sauce - the only kind that should exist, in my opinion. I've made it many times over the years, and each time I make it I change something - this time, I added the green olives (mostly because they were in the fridge and needed to be used before they expired). Believe it or not, this recipe began about twenty years ago, with a jar of sauce, ground beef and an onion all cooked together and then poured over Ramen noodles, but this particular iteration represents my most recent attempt at improvement, and anyone who got any away from me was very pleased with the result.

Sauce has been a staple in my family for generations. Each family member makes it a bit different. I don't give a specific serving size. This is used for a pound of pasta and sauce on the side if that helps.

Tomato Pasta Sauce Tomato Pasta Sauce
Ok, I'm always in search of perfection as far as tomato sauce goes... It's my own personal "holy grail." (and please, to any and all "real chefs" out there, if you have any suggestions for this recipe, it would be more than welcome) My grandmother made amazing tomato sauce but died from Alzheimers before I could get the recipe from her. Since then I've been experimenting with this recipe constantly. I've tried numerous incarnations, numerous ingredient variants, etc. I feel as if I still don't have it down to perfection, but I have it good enough that it still yields a decent sauce. FYI: this recipe is for a big batch. I designed and cook it this way because it's simply delectable and is perfect to put in containers, freeze, and have on a night where you're simply too busy to make something homemade.P. S. - I know, it's strange putting butter in a tomato sauce, and it seems like alot of butter, but I assure you, that's what makes the recipe.

World's easiest pasta sauce World's easiest pasta sauce
I can't definitively say this is the world's easiest pasta sauce, but I can't imagine it gets much easier. It paired great with cheese tortellini, readymade, of course (making tortellini from scratch would defeat the purpose of the world's easiest pasta sauce).

Chilled Tomato Pasta Sauce Chilled Tomato Pasta Sauce
We love pasta in our house, so we enjoy it in many ways.I made a variation of my recipe for Chilled Tomato Soup Pasta that tasted more like the "Chilled Tomato Sauce Pasta with a Punch" that's served at Italian restaurants in Japan in the summer.* All the directions are hints, but Steps 11 through 16 are especially important; they will decide the flavor. However, don't squeeze too much in Step 15.* It may seem like there's a lot of garlic, but it's the right amount.* Be careful to preserve the shape of the tomatoes. Recipe by *ai*

Cheesy Tomato Pasta Sauce Cheesy Tomato Pasta Sauce
I had a bunch of leftover 'stuff' in my fridge... so I whipped up this sauce and made a yummy, kid approved meal, by serving the the sauce with fun pasta shapes and cut up hot dogs. Just boil the pasta and hot dogs together. (Omit onions for kids, omit hot dogs for adults)
