Amazinsauce!  This is my good friend Steph’s homemade spaghetti sauce recipe. I walked into her kitchen one afternoon,  went straight to the pot of this amazinsauce that was simmering on her stove, took the lid off and said “What is this?! I need the recipe!” It smells amazing cooking in your kitchen and tastes unbelievable!

I always thought that making your own spaghetti sauce wasn’t worth the trouble, I was SO WRONG!  Not only is it cheaper to make your own sauce, but I make it in bulk and freeze the leftovers. So not only is it budget friendly, FREEZER FRIENDLY, it is also AMAZINSAUCE!

This sauce needs to simmer 2 plus hours in order for the flavors to meld nicely, but could also be made in 30 minutes if you are short on time. The recipe I have listed below is for 1 meal. I ALWAYS quadruple the recipe (at the suggestion of my friend, Steph) so that I have plenty for leftovers and to freeze. The second recipe I have posted is for a quadruple batch ( I highly recommend it!).

Love the sauce and want to quadruple it to have plenty to freeze?

 For the noodles I sometimes buy gluten free noodles, but lately have been making zucchini noodles. My husband bought me an awesome tool for Mother’s Day last year called “Vegetti”… vegetable-spaghetti. Get it?!  Yes, this is one of those “As seen on TV” gadgets, but I love it! You can buy it at Wal-mart, Target, Walgreens, Amazon etc. 

To make zucchini noodles it is so easy! First you make the noodles using the Vegetti, then I put them in a microwave safe dish with a little bit of water and cover. I cook the noodles for about 2 minutes and then they are done! I use a whole small zucchini for myself. The zucchini will shrink down and you will want to squeeze out some excess water before adding your sauce!

If you are gluten free, what is your favorite way to eat pasta?

Do you like a certain brand of pasta best or do you like the zucchini noodles as well?

Would love to hear from you!
