To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook kid-friendly meat sauce for pasta using 12 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Kid-Friendly Meat Sauce for Pasta:
- Get 1.5 pounds 80/20 ground beef
- Prepare 2 medium onions, minced
- Take 6 large cloves garlic, minced
- Prepare 2 Tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive work fine)
- Make ready 1 Tablespoon dried basil
- Make ready 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Make ready 2 bay leaves
- Take 1 Tablespoon tightly packed brown sugar
- Get 1/4 cup ketcup
- Prepare 2 (28 oz.) cans tomatoes
- Take 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Get 1.5-2 teaspoons kosher salt
Cook meat in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Wipe drippings from pan with a paper towel; return meat to pan. A meatless pasta sauce is super versatile, that's why I make it more often. But it's easy to turn this into a hearty spaghetti meat sauce with very little effort.
Steps to make Kid-Friendly Meat Sauce for Pasta:
- In a large pot (4 quarts minimum), bring 1 Tablespoon oil to medium high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks, and seasoning it with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Using a large cooking spoon, move the cooked meat to a bowl or plate and set aside. Remove some or all of the grease from the beef to your liking. (I like to leave about half for flavor.)
- Add 1 Tablespoon oil into the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and sweat the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent. This should take 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add in the dried herbs, stir them in, and give them a minute to bloom in the oil.
- Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients, including the ground beef, give it 3 or 4 gentle stirs to mix everything together, and simmer with the lid askew (about 1/4-inch opening on one side) for a total of 45 minutes on medium low heat, stirring every 10 minutes or so to redistribute the ingredients and to make sure the sauce isn't burning on the bottom. If you can scrape stuff off the bottom during a long simmer, your heat's too high, and you should adjust down accordingly.
- During the long simmer's a good time to boil and drain your pasta.
- Before the last 10 minutes of simmer is a good time to adjust your seasonings as well.
- Enjoy! :)
I don't like marinara sauce very much, but I've been wanting some easy kid-friendly pasta sauce. It was even better the second day. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Now my kids are used to seeing "green stuff" in their pizza sauce, so I stir in the chopped spinach at the end. If your kdis are finicky, feel free to add it to the chunky veggies and purée everything together.
