I have to tell all of you….this is the BEST pasta sauce you will ever have (in my opinion 😉 ). It is SO incredibly delicious and I was raised eating it. My Mom was the one who taught me how to create this wonderful sauce and I make it all the time. I don’t know about you but I don’t like canned red sauce….at all. I don’t like pizza sauce that much either. Well, this sauce is much different and I’m telling you, you HAVE to try this at least once.
Your house will smell SO yummy too….it’s AMAZING~
Can you tell this is like my favorite meal to make…..ever. 😛
P.S. – this is also great because it fascinates all taste buds (picky and not picky ones)…anyone will eat it, including the kiddos.
Here ya go:
Best Homemade Garlic Pasta Sauce Ever!
Serves 3-4
Ingredients:
Garlic – about 10-12 cloves
3 (15 oz cans) of Hunts tomato sauce (This is super important….in my opinion, it needs to be Hunts. I have tried other brands, organic included and although it still turns out fantastic, it doesn’t taste the same…so Hunts it is!).
1 bag of pasta (you could do more if your family eats a lot of pasta) we used Whole Wheat organic and this sauce is so yummy it masks the funky taste of the whole wheat. 😉
Olive Oil
Cumin
Oregano
Parsley flakes
Directions:
1 – Add about 1/4 inch olive oil to the bottom of a small to medium pan (sorry, I never measure this but I’d say it’s a little less than 1 cup)
2 – Heat olive oil
2 – Add garlic to olive oil and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes so you get the flavor of the garlic (I usually smash them a little to release the juices)
3 – Do NOT burn the garlic, it will turn a little brown but you don’t want to burn it.
4 – Remove the “cooked” garlic and throw away….don’t worry, the flavor will still be there, in the olive oil
5 – Add the 3 cans of tomato sauce (remember, Hunts!)
6 – Again, I’m sorry I do not measure the seasoning but it’s pretty easy…check out the image below to see about how much. What’s great is you can easily add more about 10 minutes after it’s been cooking…just taste it and see what you think.
7 – Put it on medium to low heat and let simmer.
8 – Cook your pasta now while your sauce is marinating with all the flavors.
9 – When the pasta is done, your sauce should be done as well…taste test and enjoy!

April 13, 2012 at 12:47 pmThis sounds delicious! I like that it isn’t “chunky” and probably great for kids who don’t like the chunky kind of sauce!! I am going to give it a try possibly this weekend! Thanks!

April 13, 2012 at 12:52 pmHi Kim! That is exactly true…My kids and picky hubby don’t like chunky so this is the perfect recipe but you still get a TON of flavor without having the chunks. =) Hope you like it!

April 13, 2012 at 1:29 pmCouple questions…use 15oz tomato sauce cans? Also does that oil incorporate into sauce? It looked oily. 🙂
Raining Hot Coupons says
April 17, 2012 at 9:41 pmYes, sorry about that! They are 15 oz cans and the olive oil does pretty much soak into all of it (a lot more than what it shows in the picture). There will still be a little on top but just be sure to stir it up before you serve it and it will help. =)

April 18, 2012 at 7:20 amThis sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try it. Instead of throwing those yummy cloves of garlic out, chop them up and put them on buttered bread. Throw the bread in the oven for a few minutes and you’ll have amazing garlic bread to go with your pasta.
