Frugal Spaghetti (Meals for Hard Times)
Absolutely great pasta sauce comes from two things: Tomato paste (not sauce), and sweet to acid balance. This basic pasta sauce is built around these.
Ingredients
- ½ onion, chopped
- 6 oz. tomato paste
- 2 15 oz. cans stewed tomatoes
- garlic salt to taste
- onion powder to taste
- Italian seasoning to taste
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- Spaghetti, cooked, drained, and kept warm
Instructions
- Brown turkey with chopped onion.
- After browning meat (when you are not so poor use beef and Italian sausage), add either 1 can of tomato paste, and 2 cans of stewed tomatoes (I like the ones that come with the seasonings already in them) or 2 cans of tomato paste.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and sugar to taste.
- Simmer and serve with pasta.
- It is great to have some Parmesan around for this.
