I just love Tammy. She makes a mistake and just laughs it off. Nothing fazes her, she just goes with the flow. That's the sign of a very confident cook!
It also means she’s authentic. We all appreciate that. The recipe looks interesting especially since I grew up in an Italian neighborhood. But I would try it except for the green peppers. I detest them. I sub a pablano pepper when it calls for a green pepper.
I'm Italian-American, second generation, but this looks absolutely delicious! One caveat. Always briefly saute your garlic in the oil for that nutty complex flavor.
I'm third generation. You know some guys (Italian) don't even use garlic in there bolognese, they say the real way to make it like the guys in Bologna is onion and celery and Beef,Veal and gnd pork. As for me, I like the garlic
Classic Bolognese is mostly beef broth with very little tomato in it . And you add milk at the end . You are not nuts . Still a good meat sauce is the best
I didn't expect to get all teary eyed while looking up southern meat sauce recipes for my spaghetti but this lady is so happy and carefree and I've been stressed and unemployed, it just brought tears to my eyes, also reminds me of my foster moms recipe who was a southerner as well and she passed when I was in high school and never got the recipe but OH MY GOODNESS did her spaghetti sauce slap! I bet yours tastes incredible too and I can't wait to try this recipe with the marinated mushrooms.
Another little secret... when you buy your canned tomatoes, sauce or paste, buy the Basil & Oregano one. It's amazing. It's so good, sometimes I use it alone, if it's a side dish.
Me too! I love the Contadina paste that has Italian seasoning and cheeses in it. I used to just eat the can. Lots of sodium tho. Ouch. Bad when you're preggers. I ended up with preeclampsia. 🍅
@@laurametheny1008 Lmao!!!! That's too funny... (but not, of course... lol) I haven't tried that brand. My Publix tends to favor Hunts. It was actually one of the things that oddly "disappeared" from the shelf, not long ago (that, mac & cheese, and lima beans). But I will definitely look for that one next time 😁
@@floridagirl4407 Lima beans? Oh my Lord. NO. My nemesis as a kid. Mom would make me stay at the table til I ate mine. I started pretending then running to the toilet to spit them out! Of course she caught on. Ugh! I hope you can find the Contadina if you want to try it. I didn't see it at our IGA this time so I got their store brand. Ha ve a good week!🍅🍷🍝🥖🙏
Open top of tomato paste can. Remove the top. Open bottom of tomato paste can and push the paste through the can with the bottom lid. ( like an ice cream push-up). It will come out clean and easy.
Hi Tammy! Normally I wouldn’t watch a pasta video by someone not Italian because my husband was Italian and I had my gravy game down-this is what we call sauce but I lost him almost 2 years ago and have eaten very little pasta since his passing. I did watch this video and I made this today and paused my meal to leave this comment-this is really really good sauce!!! I used fresh Angel hair and wow….thank you♥️
I’ve never used marinated mushrooms can’t wait to try this thank u Tammy u r soooo beautiful in ur heart now I know if I mess up with sauce and paste what to do I’ve learned a lot from u my first time can’t wait to try this instead of the same ole Ragu😂😂😂
hi, nice recipe, my secret ingredient is Worcestershire sauce as it makes the minced beef richer in color and flavor, it contains vinegar, molasses, anchovies, garlic, tamarind extract, chili pepper extract, sugar, and salt, I use olive oil and add some nice red wine, but I do use a lot of your ingredients like garlic etc, I am from Australia and we do not have marinated mushrooms in the supermarket, when ready to eat I add Parmesan cheese
I am Italian American, we always put tomato paste in our tomato sauce, a lot of us New York -New Jersey Italians call tomato sauce, "gravy". I usually don't like a meat sauce, but yours looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. I never thought of browning the ground beef and storing it, a good tip.Enjoyed yous vlog.
Looks delicious! My co worker brought the best spaghetti to work for us. It had pepperoni and shaved 🥕 carrots! She used a packet seasoning. It was probably McCormicks spaghetti sauce seasoning. Anyway it was the best. The carrots made it sweet and the pepperoni added a depth of deliciousness.
My dad was the cook in our family and he made his own sauce. I stood by him one day so I could write down his recipe. He used onions, peppers, garlic, oregano, basil, bay leaves, a little crushed anise, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, and ground beef. My favorite comfort food. I'll have to try your recipe!
We use only fresh tomatoes 🍅 now. As we age, the acid causes problems! 👌😂❤️ I enjoy watching you! We love mushroom too! Sometimes already sliced, fresh mushrooms. My mother always added bell pepper and onions! I was born in Atlanta! 😘 Sometimes I believe the amount of love 💕 included makes it delicious! 🙏❤️💕 We will try the mushrooms!
As i watched this video to the very end, it became obvious why this channel is so successful. This lady is so down to earth and likable, she goes with the flow when something goes wrong. This channel is a case study in authentic, genuine, and real can be just as successful as instagram perfect, production perfect, and super 4k HD type of channels. Bravo Tammy, wish you all the success!
I'm just here for your wonderful Georgia accent. To me it's the best of all the southern accents. When I was growing up my best friend from 3rd grade had a mom who was from Sicily and she would cook her sauce all day long while she listened to Italian opera on the radio and I'm convinced that the music was her secret ingredient 'cause that was the best spaghetti sauce I've ever had.
We all sound similar, what you are hearing is the old school southern accent found in Ga.,northern La.,Ms.,Ala.,and east Texas,Arkansas, Florida pan handle,mostly in rural areas
That deep south Georgia accent always reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. To me that's the most beautiful southern accent IMHO. My ancestors were from Western North Carolina and had touches of hillbilly because they were close to the Appalachian Mountains.
I can't wait to try this! Its kinda like a pantry spaghetti ,big on flavor quick on time. I always add a bit of sauce to my noodles to keep them from clumping together. It may not be esthetically pleasing with flecks of meat and veg, but it makes for easier serving and noodles can be stored separately for next day reheats.
I would have never thought to put marinated mushrooms in spaghetti sauce! You’re gonna laugh - but until I watched this I had never heard of marinated mushrooms! This is a must try! It looks so good!!! 😍
I had a neighbor that was from Italy that showed me how to cook Italian. I add less sugar only a pinch. To sweeten the sauce try a little grated carrots. Another thing to try is after your peppers and onions become sauteed add your garlic but as soon as you smell the garlic add in your tomato paste to caramelized then your beef. The marinated mushrooms is spot on. You can also add a little lemon juice it will brighten the flavor and a small amount of red pepper for the spicy notes.
Right. Years ago I worked with a lady from Italy who also said her family adds a little lemon juice - I've done it ever since. I can't stand green bell peppers, so they're OUT, but I always dice up celery small and sautee it with the onion before adding the fresh pressed garlic. A family friend (Italian) catered my dad's surprise birthday party years ago. When tasting his rigatoni, there was a really good flavor I couldn't figure out - it was Worchestershire sauce. OMG, you don't want to over-do it, but that's been my "magic" ingredient ever since. And I add fresh grated Parmesan directly into my sauce to cut the acidity. Happy cooking!
That looks so delicious. I have never considered adding beef broth. Everytime I eat spaghetti it takes me back to my junior high school. They were real cooks, not processed ready made stuff. They would serve the spaghetti and you could get shredded cheese on top - yum. To this day, I like to put shredded cheddar on top of my spaghetti😋.
Ms. Tammy, I included the beef broth and also added a tablespoon of dark soy sauce. It really rounded off the flavor of the meat sauce nicely - very umami. Thank you so much for all your help in the kitchen.
Finely grated carrots, onions, course ground pepper, garlic, fresh and granulated, thyme, and tomato paste, and of course fresh tomatoes all lightly sauteed together in olive oil contribute to a flavorful, nutritious pasta sauce. 👍 A for those who prefer or must avoid gluten try Trader Joe's brown rice pasta. You'll feel the difference. And see the a lack of weight gain.
My favorite pizza restaurant said they add a small amount of finely grated carrot to the homemade tomato sauce, instead of sugar. Not only is it more healthy adding the natural sugar in carrots, it really helps knock down the acidity. It's a heartburn free sauce!
Spaghetti has been a treat for most of my life. I remember it as far back as 1955, 3rd grade. I was in Cub Scouts. Our den meetings were after school on Tuesdays. When I got home from the meeting, mom always had spaghetti on the table.
This video had me tickled! “We won’t tell nobody” 😂 a true cook just keeps on going. Our favorite banana bread muffins were the ones where we forgot the baking powder! You never know. You may like it better with the tomato sauce!
Momma always made the seasoning packet that you add tomato paste and water to when we were growing up, but we visited my dads cousin once and she made us her spaghetti made like yours but she added celery and sweet italian sausage and mom would make a big batch to freeze leftovers and we had it with this fluffy bread with seasonings and cheese added, it was yummy.
Don’t you know how good we all feel to see you make a little mistake, yet go right on and make it good? You’re lovable. And thank God you don’t try to be perfect 😍
i can't use mushrooms in anything because of an allergy to them. But I do put the rest of the list in my spaghetti except I have homemade paste and sauce from our garden. So it may change the taste a little. Thanks for posting. Looks yummy!
Tammy, I forgot to tell you that I put all the ingredients for the sauce in my instant pot. I cooked it for 20 minutes and a quick release. I felt like the instant pot would really marry those ingredients and it did.
Got my wife to be going on now for 20 years an instapot , it was a we gift lol , really not funny cause I use it more than she does but not complaining, I love greens, collard greens, turnip greens and she don’t so! The biggest instapot they make is what I bought beside that it comes in handy when I make my own dog food recipe, I’ve actually tried it and it ain’t bad if it came down to that or chit lens 🤮. Anyhow, I’m from South Ga also, but residing now in middle Ga. Raised up on the Chatahoochie River just east of the Alabama line, I’m rambling and got off the tracks there, but I just wanted to say, I just found this Dixie bell and I’m going to try her spaghetti sauce, lord have mercy I’m tired of Ragu and prego and I love marinated mushrooms too, I’m going to surprise my girl friend of 20 yrs and impress her, I’ll let you know Tammy what she says , shhh! Don’t tell her, this is our recipe now! 🙏Thanks Tammy.❤️
@@danieledwards8779 - something you can do with Ragu, etc., is to add a good shot of red wine to it. You will be amazed at how delicious it makes a “canned” sauce taste. For those days when you just want to do the minimum to get some food onto the plate and into your tummy. Any red wine will do. Ones with a full body work the best. Try it, I’m pretty sure you’ll like it - and so will your sweetie 😉🍝😉 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
You can’t beat homemade spaghetti sauce! I wouldn’t change a thing in this recipe, looks delicious! I’m going to get some of these marinated mushrooms! Yummy 😋 🍝
Try adding a small amount to taste of instant coffee to yr spaghetti sauce IT POPS THE FLAVOR ON YOUR SAUCE TASTE REALLY GOOD my friend who is a chief told me about that try it on a small amount of sauce on the side See if you like it first
@@doratiscareno5856 Interesting!! I'm going to try that. When I cook the meat, I add a spoon of grape jelly to the pan first and let it melt. Then I add the meat. If adding onions don't add the grape jelly to the meat and onions, instead add a spoon if grape jelly to the sauce instead. I make my sauce very spicy so the grape jelly helps balance it out.
82ND AIRBORNE I substituted the bell peppers with a splash of TABASCO sauce...and Subbed the beef bouillon by not draining to much of the natural sauce. Lord have Mercy it was Divinely Delicious!! Yeeehaw!!
I cook my ground beef ahead of time like you do with a packet of McCormick's thick and zesty seasoning before i store it in the fridge for a day or two , it gives the beef that extra zing of flavor . Looks like my family is going to be trying some Southern Style Spaghetti this weekend . That looks so Yummy 🙂
That's the exact way my Mother fixed her sauce. Just doesn't taste the same without bell pepper, so I follow her recipe to this day. I also add a small pinch of ground cloves and thyme. That full plate looked so appetizing.
I make my own sauce most of the time and always put onion, green bell peppers, garlic and tomato paste as my base ingredients. I put mushrooms in mine but now I have to try the marinated mushrooms. Thanks for sharing Tammy. 🙂❤
I just came inside and the weather is wet and chilly outside so I wish I had a big bowl of this spaghetti right now! I’ve never had marinated mushrooms before but I’m definitely going to try out your recipe soon. It looks delicious!
Not a new subscriber just a new phone carrier.. so appreciate watching you and Chris dedication to all of us. This recipe is without a question going to be tops like every thing you cook.
Awesome, my family loves my sphaghetti, cannot wait to give next batch a twist with the marinated mushrooms. I never thought of using them. Can't wait.
I agree with Denise, I love the fact that you made a mistake and just laughed it off, you keep it real, we all make mistakes, but most of the time they get edited out on youtube. Your spaghetti sauce does look really good. PRAYERS
I love marinated mushrooms and I had fresh mushrooms,I heated some Italian dressing, (restaurant style ) olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I poured it on the mushrooms and let ‘em sit overnight, and boy were they good!
My sister-in-law taught me how to make spaghetti sauce very similar to yours except instead of sugar she uses brown sugar and it makes the sauce soooo goood!!
I can see that a trip to the grocery store is in my near future because I have to try those marinated mushrooms. That sauce looks delicious and maybe I'm just hungry, but I could almost SMELL how good it is. Yum!
I've already printed the recipe to give it a try, I love those Litehouse herb blends.I first tried them in your sausage ball recipe. I try ALOT of your recipes, more than I'm willing to admit lol
Tammy, I use Tammy, "Classico sun dried tomato pesto" in a small 218 ml jar Please try that and let me know how you like it. I use the whole 218 ml jar in my Spaghetti Meat Sauce
I don't really cook any more but this is making me want to do it again. Love the idea of the Mushrooms, and a good ole Southern American spaghetti. Why not? We have some of the best cooks in the world, in my opinion. JESUS IS LORD!
I've ordered spaghetti with meat sauces quite a few times at this very, good restaurant. When I asked them why their sauce tastes so much better than mine they said "WE USE VEAL.'" Ground veal rather than ground beef or chuck. It's expensive and you'd probably have to order it from the grocery store ahead of time, but it makes delicious meat sauce.
When I first married my hubby and made him spaghetti, I always added smoke sauce and Italian sausage to my sauce. My favorite food on/treat is mushrooms and you absolutely must go heavy on the shrooms! At first hubby asked what is that unique flavor in the sauce and when he found out it was the smoke sauce he couldn't believe it. Now he can tell if I don't add enough smoke sauce, lol. My family tells me I should open an Italian restaurant because my flavors are so bold. It's not sauce without the smoke sauce.
Tammy, Your cooking reminds me so much of my mom's cooking growing up. My mom is from Virginia, and she cooks lots of things just as you do it. Love your recipes!
Sounds tasty.! My current favorite "secrets" for meat sauces are finely grated portions of carrot and celery. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. I'll have to try the marinated mushrooms.
Looks great! I add celery and carrots to my homemade sauce. The carrots are sweet and let me omit the sugar. Thanks, Tammy. I'm going to try adding beef bullion based on this recipe next time.
Try adding a small amount of instant coffee to yr sauce... It makes the flavors of yr sauce pop even more I love it taste great A friend who is a CHIEF told me about the instant coffee
@@nuttybar9 Robert try a small amount to taste of instant coffee in you spaghetti sauce a friend who is a chief told me about it Its make yr sause taste richer I love it
Celery, carrot and onion [1.1.2] are actually the "sofrito" that forms the basis of most Italian cooking, and certainly Ragù alla Bolognese - a bit like the "Holy Trinity" in New Orleans cooking.
My spaghetti meat sauce is known throughout the family so I have to make it whomever I visit, the grandkids especially. I often caramelize the onion before I add the bell pepper and mushroom's, then add the garlic as you are turning off the heat. I leave my mushrooms whole for those who choose to pick them out (so I can eat them 🙃) and I use half Italian sausage (my secret ingredient) and ground beef half and half. I do add some extra basil to the Italian seasoning, but otherwise mine is very similar to yours. If fixing for my wife and I only, I add a can of Rotel. I generally make about a gallon or more at a time and freeze for later or to take camping or other trips.
I made this spaghetti sauce and I couldn’t believe how delicious it was! I did use only tomato paste and no tomato sauce but everything was just like you did , and I ate a plateful, bigger than I have ever eaten and loved every bite!!! And so did everyone else. Thank you❣️❣️ Can’t wait to try your Granny’s chocolate pie! Love your channel!
You are so real and we all make mistakes but you have a unique personality and laugh and keep on cooking…your spaghetti sauce looks amazing and so delicious! Thanks so much…
Tammy, this is so similar to the way my mama made her spaghetti sauce…yum! Need to make this soon if I can afford ground meat!!! (I just remembered my mama put 1 bay leaf in her sauce…she loved bay leaves!)
As an Italian I tell you that compared to other recipes not made by Italians, yours is eatable, some advice: never break the spaghetti, if you do it two Italians will throw themselves from the balcony, make the pasta not overcooked, the powdered broth is better not to use it, mix beef with pork (it's tastier), the mushrooms preserved in the ragout are horrendous, apart from frying the fresh mushrooms with garlic, olive oil, add the mushrooms at the end of cooking, to a good raghù you have to blend the meat with a good wine, the raghù must cook from 2 to three hours, the best pasta for the ragù is fettuccine macheroni fusilli. Enjoy your meal.
This looks delish! I'd use monkfruit instead of sugar and would use freshly grated parmesan sprinkled on top. This a great sauce recipe to make in a big batch, then freeze individual portions in ziploc bags to use on a busy weeknight. Tfs Tammy! I bet the extra sauce made it extra good!
Tammy I am 100% Italian. And a New York Italian! That’s sauce looks delicious! I’d eat it in a ❤️ beat! In fact, my Hubby’s going to make it this week. I printed the recipe! Delish! I love those mushrooms we use them all the time. They’re so good! Stay safe!
@@kellynewcomer5700 Kelly if you're watching the video on a phone to the right of the title is a v symbol click on that it'll drop down and show you a whole bunch of things to click on The recipe is in that group
Really enjoyed watching you cook that! Good job 👌 Two tricks for you. 1) dip a clean coffee cup in pasta water before draining pasta. Dump noodles back in pot and add that coffee cup of starch water-no sticky noodles. 2) use tongs put single serving of noodles on a med low skillet then ladle the sauce over noodles use tongs to thoroughly mix sauce into all the noodles then dump into a pasta bowl and serve.
For sure I'll like the marinated mushrooms. My secret ingredient for sauce is extra oregano. I love all pasta dishes but prefer no sweet sugary taste at all. Thanks for posting. 👍
Your sauce looked great, but we vary in using the ingredients, just a bit. I put some of my salted pasta water in my sauce (not the spaghetti), so the starch will help thicken or tighten up the sauce. I rarely use bouillon, because it's overly salty. I prefer canned Romano tomatoes, chopping them up to cook down. I've never eaten marinated mushrooms, but love the baby Bellas sauteed in olive oil, with onions and garlic. If it's fresh veggie picking time, I like adding diced sauteed zucchini in it as well.
@@chrisberg98This is true, but I'm only adding a small amount of salted water to the pasta sauce. BTW, I use Kosher salt for my pasta water, not table salt; there's a big difference.
Looks delicious! I add a few shredded carrots, it takes the bitterness out like the sugar does. I also put the drained cooked spaghetti in a bowl then add a couple of heaping ladeles of sauce and stir it up. It helps to kepp the pasta from sticking together. People can eat it a 1/2 ,hr later and it still wont be sticking. Yum!
I made this recipe last night for dinner and oh my goodness it is soooo good! It is the best spaghetti sauce recipe I have ever made! Thank you Tammy so much for sharing it with us! It will be my go to recipe from now on!
This is super close, actually, to my Venetian grandmother’s Bolognese sauce. She used mushrooms, but not marinated. She also adds olives, crushed red pepper, and about six cloves of garlic, lol. After she ladled the sauce on to the pasta, she’d drizzle it with super good olive oil
So great to see this video! My family makes a sauce just like this! We've always used fresh mushrooms. I need to try marinated mushrooms! But we make 'sloppy joes' with it!
A latecomer here, something to share...back in the 70s the first time ever eating spaghetti...it was a fancy restaurant in Europe. Not going to say which country. The meat sauce was tomato-based, with red wine, fresh basil, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and parmesan. Simmered for hours...the secret ingredient: oxtails for added richness. The pasta was freshly made and served with a huge bowl of parmesan. This is the dream-team combo. Thank you for a great video! 🍝
Tammy I have learned so much from your channel, thank you. I have a tip for those who might want a shortcut to a great spagetti sauce, use a can of hunts or Delmonte spagetti sauce and 2 tbs. Of sugar and garlic and whatever else you like.. I did not know about the mushrooms, will definitely try.
That spaghetti looks fantastic. I can not wait to try this recipe. Years ago I had someone make me a meat sauce. I have been looking for years for a similar recipe to that one. This looks very similar. I am such a fan of really good spaghetti. Thank you Tammy! 🍝💕
I like that you use bullion for seasoning. I do that all the time. Learned that tip watching Pitmasters and alot of Asian cooking channels. Pit masters (bbq) use beef/chicken in place of some of the salt and I have been doing it ever since. In every dish I make I do this, if they have chicken or beef as an ingredient. Makes things so much more flavorful! Thanks Tammy for another video. Glad you are feeling better!
I put lotsa chopped onion, green pepper, mushrooms, some garlic...my secret is a lot of bay leaves, at least 10 full leaves , and for the coup de gras, a pinch or 2 of sugar to offset the tangy tomato sauce. Perfect every time.
Hey Tammy, so I ordered marinated mushrooms. Girl, let me tell you, I’m a great grandma & my family love my spaghetti, but these here mushrooms took it to a whole nother level! I used them in a typical spaghetti dish the first time. Today I made baked spaghetti (first time) & it is out of this world!! I also put green peppers in it for the first time as well as the beef bouillon. Um um 🤤 (I’m in NC but I felt guilty & tried to make my sauce more traditionally Italian.) I’m not Italian & this is a down home cooking day! Thanks for the tip! I’m taking a jar of mushrooms to my sister. (I had to order from Amazon & they are sold in 3’s) The grocery stores here don’t carry them. Keep cooking like mama!
I was taught, oil onion, carrot, CELERY lots of cel garlic. Then meat , red + green peppers, bay leaves fresh from my garden.Spc whole roma tomatoes, mushrooms broccolli chopped. Worchester Sauce, wine etc. 🏡♥️
I just made this for my hubby and my very hard to please 84 year old aunt. She really liked it. The only change I made was tomato sauce for the diced tomatoes and mushrooms in steakhouse sauce for the marinated mushrooms (couldn't find them). It made a less "heartburny" sauce for us old people but was still full of flavor.
😋 Wow, this spaghetti sauce looks so wonderful I love the idea of the marinated mushrooms and the juice. And also, boring the pasta sauce over, to add flavor and keep it from sticking thank you for the special tips Tammy, this looks wonderful
Susan try adding a small amount of instant coffee to your sauce to taste.... a little at a time till you like it It helps to pop the flavor in your sauce I love it...a friend who is a CHIEF told me about it Lol...look at my last name🤭
@@SusanH-CatLady Sure just add a little bit at a time till it taste good You will taste the difference.. it just POPS THE FLAVOR 👍 it must be instant coffee I use Folgers
I was going to make Spaghetti today but we had so much Tamale pie left from last nights supper, we just ate that. I’m going to make Spaghetti this week. I don’t have any marinated mushrooms. I need to go get some. Thank you Tammy.❤️🌹
@@jualinesadler1886, it’s very easy. I learned this from my Mother, who was a single parent. All she did was use can tamales, drained, a large can of Wolf brand chili with beans, a smaller can of regular Chili, a few chopped onions, Fritos, and grated cheese. I heat my chili on the stove, then layer in Pyrex dish. Cover with foil, and bake on 350 for 3-40 minutes. It’s easy and delicious.
I still love your channel and all that you share. My mom has me watching you. When my kids were young they didn't like the onion or the vegetables so I would run part of the sauce through the blender so I got the flavor of it of the Fresh Veggies but they didn't have to know it was in there. What I do is when I brown hamburger a brown a whole bunch at a time and then I break it down into bags and put it into the freezer and then when I want to make a meal I just grab that bag of meat that's already cooked
I know this is an older video but it showed up tonight in my UA-cam suggestions. As a fellow Georgia peach from south GA I too make southern spaghetti sauce very similar to yours minus the marinated mushrooms. Just night before last I told my husband if I had to request a last meal I’d request my spaghetti but now I’m going to try your sauce and I’ll bet it will be my favorite as a last meal.
love it Tammy... Im Italian and grew up with simmering sauce all day long and sometimes its just to heavy and just to much. this looks light and delicious cant wait to try it
I am Italian and I love our sauce and the way we make it. But for a country girl you could make beautiful spaghetti sauce your way I’m going to try it because it looks very very good. Thank you for sharing. All you need is a nice glass of red 🍷
Hi Tammy! This recipe was an immediate fave with my crew! It's also among the first recipes from your Vol. 1 cookbook they learned to cook on their own, too. We've had it with and without the marinated mushrooms and you're absolutely right about the mushrooms & adding some of the juice adding so much flavor. We really have enjoyed it countless times! Thanks for another video, y'all!
@@CollardValleyCooks Tammy A friend of mine who is a chief... Told me to add a small amount of Instant Coffee to my spaghetti sauce a little at a time to taste It works great... it gives yr sauce a much richer taste ...Tammy i cant explain it but You know how when we cooks always say: ""THEIRS SOMTHING MISSING""Just Dosent Taste Right...

I'm Italian-American, second generation, but this looks absolutely delicious! One caveat. Always briefly saute your garlic in the oil for that nutty complex flavor.
You are so right that's what I said as she was cooking the peppers n onions. WHERE'S THE FRESH GARLIC! I AM trying this recipe looks divone

Great idea, thanks
@@lisaduvalls3143 o
I'm third generation. You know some guys (Italian) don't even use garlic in there bolognese, they say the real way to make it like the guys in Bologna is onion and celery and Beef,Veal and gnd pork. As for me, I like the garlic
I also put beef bouillon in my spaghetti sauce! Some people think I'm nuts for doing that but it gives it such a rich flavor.
Classic Bolognese is mostly beef broth with very little tomato in it . And you add milk at the end . You are not nuts . Still a good meat sauce is the best
Hello
I didn't expect to get all teary eyed while looking up southern meat sauce recipes for my spaghetti but this lady is so happy and carefree and I've been stressed and unemployed, it just brought tears to my eyes, also reminds me of my foster moms recipe who was a southerner as well and she passed when I was in high school and never got the recipe but OH MY GOODNESS did her spaghetti sauce slap! I bet yours tastes incredible too and I can't wait to try this recipe with the marinated mushrooms.
Another little secret... when you buy your canned tomatoes, sauce or paste, buy the Basil & Oregano one. It's amazing. It's so good, sometimes I use it alone, if it's a side dish.
The only one who got it right👍
Me too! I love the Contadina paste that has Italian seasoning and cheeses in it. I used to just eat the can. Lots of sodium tho. Ouch. Bad when you're preggers. I ended up with preeclampsia. 🍅

Open top of tomato paste can. Remove the top. Open bottom of tomato paste can and push the paste through the can with the bottom lid. ( like an ice cream push-up). It will come out clean and easy.
I thought i was the only person that did that!

I’ve never used marinated mushrooms can’t wait to try this thank u Tammy u r soooo beautiful in ur heart now I know if I mess up with sauce and paste what to do I’ve learned a lot from u my first time can’t wait to try this instead of the same ole Ragu😂😂😂
Do not SEE ANYTHING Different
@@t.t.yankeerose9225 I don't either. Maybe all the bullion she put in? Who puts g sugar in pasta sauce? Bleck I'm sticking w my Italian recipe.
L
@@sheinFL I put sugar in my spaghetti sauce. It takes some of the bitterness from the sauce.
hi, nice recipe, my secret ingredient is Worcestershire sauce as it makes the minced beef richer in color and flavor, it contains vinegar, molasses, anchovies, garlic, tamarind extract, chili pepper extract, sugar, and salt, I use olive oil and add some nice red wine, but I do use a lot of your ingredients like garlic etc, I am from Australia and we do not have marinated mushrooms in the supermarket, when ready to eat I add Parmesan cheese
Worchestshire would be delicious.👍
I use worcestershire in my sauce too. It makes a really big difference.
I am Italian American, we always put tomato paste in our tomato sauce, a lot of us New York -New Jersey Italians call tomato sauce, "gravy". I usually don't like a meat sauce, but yours looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. I never thought of browning the ground beef and storing it, a good tip.Enjoyed yous vlog.
Same in New Orleans. Red sauce is called gravy.
My Italian friends in Brooklyn are of two minds but mostly call the spaghetti sauce well sauce.
@@donnast.joseph5158 I have always loved New Orleans, celebrated my 60th Birthday there
Red sauce is not gravy. Argument as old as time. LOL
@@CityCinderella It is an old argument & I am an old Italian
Looks delicious! My co worker brought the best spaghetti to work for us. It had pepperoni and shaved 🥕 carrots! She used a packet seasoning. It was probably McCormicks spaghetti sauce seasoning. Anyway it was the best. The carrots made it sweet and the pepperoni added a depth of deliciousness.
Speaking of tomatoes, what did the little tomato say to the big tomatoes? Don’t worry, I’ll ketchup. 😂
😂🤣😂
😂😁🤣😆
I love it! 🤣😂😹
🥰
Made me 😃 laugh!!! Funny!!!
I love spaghetti! Do you ever sprinkle parmesean cheese on top? I do, plus I eat some toasted garlic French bread with it! Yummy!!
My dad was the cook in our family and he made his own sauce. I stood by him one day so I could write down his recipe. He used onions, peppers, garlic, oregano, basil, bay leaves, a little crushed anise, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, and ground beef. My favorite comfort food. I'll have to try your recipe!
But not mushrooms. Sounds like your Dad was a good cook.
I love home made food the best
We use only fresh tomatoes 🍅 now. As we age, the acid causes problems! 👌😂❤️ I enjoy watching you! We love mushroom too! Sometimes already sliced, fresh mushrooms. My mother always added bell pepper and onions! I was born in Atlanta! 😘 Sometimes I believe the amount of love 💕 included makes it delicious! 🙏❤️💕 We will try the mushrooms!
@hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Hello
As i watched this video to the very end, it became obvious why this channel is so successful. This lady is so down to earth and likable, she goes with the flow when something goes wrong. This channel is a case study in authentic, genuine, and real can be just as successful as instagram perfect, production perfect, and super 4k HD type of channels. Bravo Tammy, wish you all the success!
so what's the secret ingredient for her spaghetti sauce?
@@user-lg7es5gr3w The marinated mushrooms.
I'm just here for your wonderful Georgia accent. To me it's the best of all the southern accents. When I was growing up my best friend from 3rd grade had a mom who was from Sicily and she would cook her sauce all day long while she listened to Italian opera on the radio and I'm convinced that the music was her secret ingredient 'cause that was the best spaghetti sauce I've ever had.
We all sound similar, what you are hearing is the old school southern accent found in Ga.,northern La.,Ms.,Ala.,and east Texas,Arkansas, Florida pan handle,mostly in rural areas
That deep south Georgia accent always reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. To me that's the most beautiful southern accent IMHO. My ancestors were from Western North Carolina and had touches of hillbilly because they were close to the Appalachian Mountains.
I like your Story here. Thanks for Sharing.
I can't wait to try this! Its kinda like a pantry spaghetti ,big on flavor quick on time. I always add a bit of sauce to my noodles to keep them from clumping together. It may not be esthetically pleasing with flecks of meat and veg, but it makes for easier serving and noodles can be stored separately for next day reheats.
Every Italian restaurant I've ever gone to adds sauce to the spaghetti noodles as well as on top. It really doubles up the flavor!!
I toss the cooked noodles with a couple pads of butter. Stops clumping and adds another delicious layer of flavor
That's a darned good idea - and even better in practice. Yum!
My mom taught me to add some sauce to the pasta before serving. It's great later cold just like that . Yum
I always store leftover spaghetti noodles with a few drops of olive oil stirred through, to keep them from sticking together
I would have never thought to put marinated mushrooms in spaghetti sauce! You’re gonna laugh - but until I watched this I had never heard of marinated mushrooms! This is a must try! It looks so good!!! 😍
You aren't by yourself. I learned something today
Well youll like this even better
Im a "Tiscareno"
Try adding a small amount of instant coffee to your sauce
It really pops the flavor
Me too. Never heard of "marinated mushrooms" will look for it in the grocery store.
I rather have fresh mushrooms in my sauce. My ex husband used to put carrots in his sauce.
I think they're popular as a garnish for cocktails.
I had a neighbor that was from Italy that showed me how to cook Italian. I add less sugar only a pinch. To sweeten the sauce try a little grated carrots. Another thing to try is after your peppers and onions become sauteed add your garlic but as soon as you smell the garlic add in your tomato paste to caramelized then your beef. The marinated mushrooms is spot on. You can also add a little lemon juice it will brighten the flavor and a small amount of red pepper for the spicy notes.
You are so right Cat
Adding butter at the end is also a great way to cut some of the acidity and mellow out your dish. So good.
You can use a cap of cider vinegar to bring out the taste as well.
@@GameChanger597 I love spaghetti and yalls ideas are great. I will try .
Right. Years ago I worked with a lady from Italy who also said her family adds a little lemon juice - I've done it ever since. I can't stand green bell peppers, so they're OUT, but I always dice up celery small and sautee it with the onion before adding the fresh pressed garlic. A family friend (Italian) catered my dad's surprise birthday party years ago. When tasting his rigatoni, there was a really good flavor I couldn't figure out - it was Worchestershire sauce. OMG, you don't want to over-do it, but that's been my "magic" ingredient ever since. And I add fresh grated Parmesan directly into my sauce to cut the acidity. Happy cooking!
I’m from Texas, and I would love to give this “southern style” spaghetti a go! It looks so good! Thank you for sharing.
That looks so delicious. I have never considered adding beef broth. Everytime I eat spaghetti it takes me back to my junior high school. They were real cooks, not processed ready made stuff. They would serve the spaghetti and you could get shredded cheese on top - yum. To this day, I like to put shredded cheddar on top of my spaghetti😋.
I've been binge watching since last Thursday, recovering from surgery. Y'all are the best. From cooking to bible study. 💕 💕
I wish you a speedy recovery and you sure did tune into a great channel while you get well. 🥰
This is the spaghetti sauce I grew up eating! My mother, raised in Picher, OK, made sauce this way....delicious.
Hey, I was raised in Picher, Ok too 😊
Ms. Tammy, I included the beef broth and also added a tablespoon of dark soy sauce. It really rounded off the flavor of the meat sauce nicely - very umami. Thank you so much for all your help in the kitchen.
Finely grated carrots, onions, course ground pepper, garlic, fresh and granulated, thyme, and tomato paste, and of course fresh tomatoes all lightly sauteed together in olive oil contribute to a flavorful, nutritious pasta sauce. 👍 A for those who prefer or must avoid gluten try Trader Joe's brown rice pasta. You'll feel the difference. And see the a lack of weight gain.
Finely grated carrots sounds gross! Then I tried it. When lightly sauteed if gives off a lovely sweetness. Let the people know.
My favorite pizza restaurant said they add a small amount of finely grated carrot to the homemade tomato sauce, instead of sugar. Not only is it more healthy adding the natural sugar in carrots, it really helps knock down the acidity. It's a heartburn free sauce!
I was wondering when someone was gonna put a little sugar in their sauce lol Love watching you ! You are the real deal, don't ever change !
You can use diabetic sweetener
Spaghetti has been a treat for most of my life. I remember it as far back as 1955, 3rd grade. I was in Cub Scouts. Our den meetings were after school on Tuesdays. When I got home from the meeting, mom always had spaghetti on the table.
Hello from Lexington, North Carolina!❤ I just love Spaghetti Sauce 😋😋 Love y'all ❤️ ❤️. Everyone hit that 👍👍👍👍👍😊

@@bearpawz_ me too! Lol
@@bearpawz_ p
Momma always made the seasoning packet that you add tomato paste and water to when we were growing up, but we visited my dads cousin once and she made us her spaghetti made like yours but she added celery and sweet italian sausage and mom would make a big batch to freeze leftovers and we had it with this fluffy bread with seasonings and cheese added, it was yummy.
Don’t you know how good we all feel to see you make a little mistake, yet go right on and make it good? You’re lovable. And thank God you don’t try to be perfect 😍
Always excellent & funny videos! Feel like I know you!
Thanks!

I agree !
Whatttt!!!…She’s not perfect?!!!
i can't use mushrooms in anything because of an allergy to them. But I do put the rest of the list in my spaghetti except I have homemade paste and sauce from our garden. So it may change the taste a little. Thanks for posting. Looks yummy!
Tammy, I forgot to tell you that I put all the ingredients for the sauce in my instant pot. I cooked it for 20 minutes and a quick release. I felt like the instant pot would really marry those ingredients and it did.
Got my wife to be going on now for 20 years an instapot , it was a we gift lol , really not funny cause I use it more than she does but not complaining, I love greens, collard greens, turnip greens and she don’t so! The biggest instapot they make is what I bought beside that it comes in handy when I make my own dog food recipe, I’ve actually tried it and it ain’t bad if it came down to that or chit lens 🤮. Anyhow, I’m from South Ga also, but residing now in middle Ga. Raised up on the Chatahoochie River just east of the Alabama line, I’m rambling and got off the tracks there, but I just wanted to say, I just found this Dixie bell and I’m going to try her spaghetti sauce, lord have mercy I’m tired of Ragu and prego and I love marinated mushrooms too, I’m going to surprise my girl friend of 20 yrs and impress her, I’ll let you know Tammy what she says , shhh! Don’t tell her, this is our recipe now! 🙏Thanks Tammy.❤️
@@danieledwards8779 - something you can do with Ragu, etc., is to add a good shot of red wine to it. You will be amazed at how delicious it makes a “canned” sauce taste. For those days when you just want to do the minimum to get some food onto the plate and into your tummy. Any red wine will do. Ones with a full body work the best. Try it, I’m pretty sure you’ll like it - and so will your sweetie 😉🍝😉

See if you like it first
@@doratiscareno5856 Interesting!! I'm going to try that. When I cook the meat, I add a spoon of grape jelly to the pan first and let it melt. Then I add the meat. If adding onions don't add the grape jelly to the meat and onions, instead add a spoon if grape jelly to the sauce instead. I make my sauce very spicy so the grape jelly helps balance it out.
@@RheannaKennedy
Tomatoes always benefit when a little sugar is added.
@@fabiennemitchell2371 I melt grape jelly for mine 😉
@@RheannaKennedy
That's what I was referring to, the sweetness. Yours is a better alternative as you incorporate a nice flavor as well.

I substituted the bell peppers with a splash of TABASCO sauce...and Subbed the beef bouillon by not draining to much of the natural sauce. Lord have Mercy it was Divinely Delicious!! Yeeehaw!!
I cook my ground beef ahead of time like you do with a packet of McCormick's thick and zesty seasoning before i store it in the fridge for a day or two , it gives the beef that extra zing of flavor . Looks like my family is going to
be trying some Southern Style Spaghetti this weekend . That looks so Yummy 🙂
You poisoned it with the packet.
sounds like a packet my mom used to add to her base called Spatini.
That's the exact way my Mother fixed her sauce. Just doesn't taste the same without bell pepper, so I follow her recipe to this day. I also add a small pinch of ground cloves and thyme. That full plate looked so appetizing.
I make my own sauce most of the time and always put onion, green bell peppers, garlic and tomato paste as my base ingredients. I put mushrooms in mine but now I have to try the marinated mushrooms. Thanks for sharing Tammy. 🙂❤
in the UK we only have mushrooms in water :-(
I still use them though! :-)
Don't go gung ho with the mushroom idea. I've purchased many that don't taste good.
@@squeakmillward look for a marinade recipe, and make it yourself. It may taste better, if you made it.
I just came inside and the weather is wet and chilly outside so I wish I had a big bowl of this spaghetti right now! I’ve never had marinated mushrooms before but I’m definitely going to try out your recipe soon. It looks delicious!
Not a new subscriber just a new phone carrier.. so appreciate watching you and Chris dedication to all of us. This recipe is without a question going to be tops like every thing you cook.
Awesome, my family loves my sphaghetti, cannot wait to give next batch a twist with the marinated mushrooms. I never thought of using them. Can't wait.
Hope you enjoy
Tami, I used both in my spaghetti sauce last night, tomato sauce and paste. Shoot, it was better with both!!
I agree with Denise, I love the fact that you made a mistake and just laughed it off, you keep it real, we all make mistakes, but most of the time they get edited out on youtube. Your spaghetti sauce does look really good.
PRAYERS
Try adding a small amount

It will give it that spacial flavor that everyone says
" THEIR SOMTHING MISSING"
I love marinated mushrooms and I had fresh mushrooms,I heated some Italian dressing, (restaurant style ) olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I poured it on the mushrooms and let ‘em sit overnight, and boy were they good!
My sister-in-law taught me how to make spaghetti sauce very similar to yours except instead of sugar she uses brown sugar and it makes the sauce soooo goood!!
Well, I heard her voice, and decided to keep watching. I can understand every word she say's. Soothing.
I can see that a trip to the grocery store is in my near future because I have to try those marinated mushrooms. That sauce looks delicious and maybe I'm just hungry, but I could almost SMELL how good it is. Yum!
I believe I can sometimes smell when watching cooking shows.
I think "THEY"
are experimenting !
😉
I've already printed the recipe to give it a try, I love those Litehouse herb blends.I first tried them in your sausage ball recipe. I try ALOT of your recipes, more than I'm willing to admit lol
You should try adding Italian dressing and grated Parmesan cheese to your pasta after it's done boiling ,It's good that way.
Tammy, I use
Tammy, "Classico sun dried tomato pesto" in a small 218 ml jar Please try that and let me know how you like it. I use the whole 218 ml jar in my Spaghetti Meat Sauce
I don't really cook any more but this is making me want to do it again. Love the idea of the Mushrooms, and a good ole Southern American spaghetti. Why not? We have some of the best cooks in the world, in my opinion. JESUS IS LORD!
I've ordered spaghetti with meat sauces quite a few times at this very, good restaurant. When I asked them why their sauce tastes so much better than mine they said "WE USE VEAL.'" Ground veal rather than ground beef or chuck. It's expensive and you'd probably have to order it from the grocery store ahead of time, but it makes delicious meat sauce.
Hello dear, how are you doing?
Oh my! I made this today and it's so yummy. I haven't even made the spaghetti noodles yet. May eat this with a spoon!
When I first married my hubby and made him spaghetti, I always added smoke sauce and Italian sausage to my sauce. My favorite food on/treat is mushrooms and you absolutely must go heavy on the shrooms! At first hubby asked what is that unique flavor in the sauce and when he found out it was the smoke sauce he couldn't believe it. Now he can tell if I don't add enough smoke sauce, lol. My family tells me I should open an Italian restaurant because my flavors are so bold. It's not sauce without the smoke sauce.
My mom made the same sauce but with regular mushrooms so now I'm going to try it your way, it looks so yummy. God Bless
Tammy,
Your cooking reminds me so much of my mom's cooking growing up. My mom is from Virginia, and she cooks lots of things just as you do it.
Love your recipes!
THE MARINATED mushrooms is news to me! I will purchase some in my sauce mix because I love mushrooms. Thanks for this tip
Sounds tasty.! My current favorite "secrets" for meat sauces are finely grated portions of carrot and celery. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. I'll have to try the marinated mushrooms.
Tammy, this sauce wins hands down…Gotta try this recipe…TFS 😍😘
Looks great! I add celery and carrots to my homemade sauce. The carrots are sweet and let me omit the sugar. Thanks, Tammy. I'm going to try adding beef bullion based on this recipe next time.
You should try black olives ,They're good in it.
Also try diced green apple. It adds a subtle sweetness with a toothsome bite, as well as tartness to downgrade any sugar.
Try adding a small amount of instant coffee to yr sauce...
It makes the flavors of yr sauce pop even more
I love it taste great
A friend who is a CHIEF told me about the instant coffee
@@nuttybar9
Robert try a small amount to taste
of instant coffee in you spaghetti sauce

I love it
Celery, carrot and onion [1.1.2] are actually the "sofrito" that forms the basis of most Italian cooking, and certainly Ragù alla Bolognese - a bit like the "Holy Trinity" in New Orleans cooking.
I throw in one cup of Parmesan cheese to thicken my sauce. Sooo good! Love the marinated mushroom idea!!
Yum!
A cup? Too much & too salty for sure?
Over the years, I like Parmesan less and less. 😪😪😪
My spaghetti meat sauce is known throughout the family so I have to make it whomever I visit, the grandkids especially. I often caramelize the onion before I add the bell pepper and mushroom's, then add the garlic as you are turning off the heat. I leave my mushrooms whole for those who choose to pick them out (so I can eat them 🙃) and I use half Italian sausage (my secret ingredient) and ground beef half and half. I do add some extra basil to the Italian seasoning, but otherwise mine is very similar to yours. If fixing for my wife and I only, I add a can of Rotel. I generally make about a gallon or more at a time and freeze for later or to take camping or other trips.
I made this spaghetti sauce and I couldn’t believe how delicious it was! I did use only tomato paste and no tomato sauce but everything was just like you did , and I ate a plateful, bigger than I have ever eaten and loved every bite!!! And so did everyone else. Thank you❣️❣️ Can’t wait to try your Granny’s chocolate pie! Love your channel!
You are so real and we all make mistakes but you have a unique personality and laugh and keep on cooking…your spaghetti sauce looks amazing and so delicious! Thanks so much…
Try adding a small amount to taste of
Instant Coffee
It make your spaghetti sause taste so much better
@@doratiscareno5856 I added a small amount of instant coffee once and I thought it ruined my sauce. To each his own.
Sometimes you crack me up, but it looks so good. I have not tried marinated mushrooms but will give them a try out. Thank you miss Tammy 🙂
Tammy, this is so similar to the way my mama made her spaghetti sauce…yum! Need to make this soon if I can afford ground meat!!! (I just remembered my mama put 1 bay leaf in her sauce…she loved bay leaves!)
Also, take one bay leaf and put on top of your flour when you store it. This keeps those little bugs from it. Also works with rice 😉
I add bayleaf to mine and quarter tsp of cinnamon.
@@mellie9633 ooh never thought about cinnamon!! Interesting 😉
Yes my father's Italian Bailey's is a must and says Rosemary and a few other things she forgot and I don't know about the beef bullion either
I buy the ground bay leaves, so practical, instant flavor !
As an Italian I tell you that compared to other recipes not made by Italians, yours is eatable, some advice: never break the spaghetti, if you do it two Italians will throw themselves from the balcony, make the pasta not overcooked, the powdered broth is better not to use it, mix beef with pork (it's tastier), the mushrooms preserved in the ragout are horrendous, apart from frying the fresh mushrooms with garlic, olive oil, add the mushrooms at the end of cooking, to a good raghù you have to blend the meat with a good wine, the raghù must cook from 2 to three hours, the best pasta for the ragù is fettuccine macheroni fusilli. Enjoy your meal.
This looks delish! I'd use monkfruit instead of sugar and would use freshly grated parmesan sprinkled on top. This a great sauce recipe to make in a big batch, then freeze individual portions in ziploc bags to use on a busy weeknight. Tfs Tammy! I bet the extra sauce made it extra good!
Ya, I was thinking monkfruit as well. I usually use wine in my ragu, but with the mushroom marinade added, it may not require it.
It's almost 2am and after watching this I want spaghetti ...
Tammy I am 100% Italian. And a New York Italian! That’s sauce looks delicious! I’d eat it in a ❤️ beat! In fact, my Hubby’s going to make it this week. I printed the recipe! Delish! I love those mushrooms we use them all the time. They’re so good! Stay safe!

My husband likes my spaghetti with Rotel Tomatoes in it! Gives it just a notch up!! Yummy.
I just GOTTA make this This summer. My grandson Loves Loves Spaghetti 🍝 😋
Really enjoyed watching you cook that! Good job 👌
Two tricks for you. 1) dip a clean coffee cup in pasta water before draining pasta. Dump noodles back in pot and add that coffee cup of starch water-no sticky noodles. 2) use tongs put single serving of noodles on a med low skillet then ladle the sauce over noodles use tongs to thoroughly mix sauce into all the noodles then dump into a pasta bowl and serve.
I do sort of the same thing. Only partially drain the noodles and dump back into the pot with some of the water retained.
For sure I'll like the marinated mushrooms. My secret ingredient for sauce is extra oregano. I love all pasta dishes but prefer no sweet sugary taste at all. Thanks for posting. 👍
Your sauce looked great, but we vary in using the ingredients, just a bit. I put some of my salted pasta water in my sauce (not the spaghetti), so the starch will help thicken or tighten up the sauce. I rarely use bouillon, because it's overly salty. I prefer canned Romano tomatoes, chopping them up to cook down. I've never eaten marinated mushrooms, but love the baby Bellas sauteed in olive oil, with onions and garlic. If it's fresh veggie picking time, I like adding diced sauteed zucchini in it as well.
Yes, the pasta water does help to thicken the sauce, but remember that it is (supposed to be heavily )salted too.
@@chrisberg98This is true, but I'm only adding a small amount of salted water to the pasta sauce. BTW, I use Kosher salt for my pasta water, not table salt; there's a big difference.
Looks delicious! I add a few shredded carrots, it takes the bitterness out like the sugar does. I also put the drained cooked spaghetti in a bowl then add a couple of heaping ladeles of sauce and stir it up. It helps to kepp the pasta from sticking together. People can eat it a 1/2 ,hr later and it still wont be sticking. Yum!
You just gave me an idea to use up some of my butternut squash leftovers to use instead of sugar♡
you can also used pureed canned carrots for texture, color and less acidity and you get more sauce too!!!
I made this recipe last night for dinner and oh my goodness it is soooo good! It is the best spaghetti sauce recipe I have ever made! Thank you Tammy so much for sharing it with us! It will be my go to recipe from now on!
This is super close, actually, to my Venetian grandmother’s Bolognese sauce. She used mushrooms, but not marinated. She also adds olives, crushed red pepper, and about six cloves of garlic, lol. After she ladled the sauce on to the pasta, she’d drizzle it with super good olive oil
Mmmm, olives... I love olives in pasta sauce. I love Venice, too; so beautiful.
@@christinewilliams5713 And I love olive oil, too. Good, real olive oil is heaven in a tomato dish like this.
@@jovetj .. Once in a while I add pitted black olive slices into my sauce ..
@@QueenlySweetpea I'd say save them for the cavatini ;-)
@@jovetj .. What is a cavatini ?
My southern born mom used 1small can tomato paste, 1can tomato sauce, and 1 can Campbell's tomato soup with 1/2 soup can of water as her basic sauce .
I totally just learned something new....not to use oil to loosen the cooked spaghetti! I've been doing it wrong for decades. Thanks, Tammy!
The Italians just throw some of their sauce on the pasta.
Oil is added to the water so it doesn't boil over. Just saying. Most people think it's for something else
So great to see this video! My family makes a sauce just like this! We've always used fresh mushrooms. I need to try marinated mushrooms! But we make 'sloppy joes' with it!
A latecomer here, something to share...back in the 70s the first time ever eating spaghetti...it was a fancy restaurant in Europe. Not going to say which country. The meat sauce was tomato-based, with red wine, fresh basil, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and parmesan. Simmered for hours...the secret ingredient: oxtails for added richness. The pasta was freshly made and served with a huge bowl of parmesan. This is the dream-team combo. Thank you for a great video! 🍝
Tammy I have learned so much from your channel, thank you. I have a tip for those who might want a shortcut to a great spagetti sauce, use a can of hunts or Delmonte spagetti sauce and 2 tbs. Of sugar and garlic and whatever else you like.. I did not know about the mushrooms, will definitely try.
Definitely not Hunts for me!
That spaghetti looks fantastic. I can not wait to try this recipe. Years ago I had someone make me a meat sauce. I have been looking for years for a similar recipe to that one. This looks very similar. I am such a fan of really good spaghetti. Thank you Tammy! 🍝💕
Just brown hamburger meat . And add to your sauce. Eazy
I like that you use bullion for seasoning. I do that all the time. Learned that tip watching Pitmasters and alot of Asian cooking channels. Pit masters (bbq) use beef/chicken in place of some of the salt and I have been doing it ever since. In every dish I make I do this, if they have chicken or beef as an ingredient. Makes things so much more flavorful! Thanks Tammy for another video. Glad you are feeling better!
I put lotsa chopped onion, green pepper, mushrooms, some garlic...my secret is a lot of bay leaves, at least 10 full leaves , and for the coup de gras, a pinch or 2 of sugar to offset the tangy tomato sauce. Perfect every time.
You young Lady, are a gift to everyone who sees you make magic in the kitchen. Thank You
Hi love ur Recipes. Cris great camera guy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Tammy, so I ordered marinated mushrooms. Girl, let me tell you, I’m a great grandma & my family love my spaghetti, but these here mushrooms took it to a whole nother level! I used them in a typical spaghetti dish the first time. Today I made baked spaghetti (first time) & it is out of this world!! I also put green peppers in it for the first time as well as the beef bouillon. Um um 🤤 (I’m in NC but I felt guilty & tried to make my sauce more traditionally Italian.) I’m not Italian & this is a down home cooking day! Thanks for the tip! I’m taking a jar of mushrooms to my sister. (I had to order from Amazon & they are sold in 3’s) The grocery stores here don’t carry them. Keep cooking like mama!
Awesome!
I was taught, oil onion, carrot, CELERY lots of cel garlic. Then meat , red + green peppers, bay leaves fresh from my garden.Spc whole roma tomatoes, mushrooms broccolli chopped. Worchester Sauce, wine etc. 🏡♥️
“Lordy Be!!!” I love you girl. I do the green bell pepper, onion and fresh mushroom.
My family will experience yours this very week.
I just made this for my hubby and my very hard to please 84 year old aunt. She really liked it. The only change I made was tomato sauce for the diced tomatoes and mushrooms in steakhouse sauce for the marinated mushrooms (couldn't find them). It made a less "heartburny" sauce for us old people but was still full of flavor.
Wonderful!
Hello dear, how are you doing?
try putting some diced up pepperoni in the sauce .
😋 Wow, this spaghetti sauce looks so wonderful I love the idea of the marinated mushrooms and the juice. And also, boring the pasta sauce over, to add flavor and keep it from sticking thank you for the special tips Tammy, this looks wonderful

I was going to make Spaghetti today but we had so much Tamale pie left from last nights supper, we just ate that. I’m going to make Spaghetti this week. I don’t have any marinated mushrooms. I need to go get some. Thank you Tammy.❤️🌹
How do you. Make. Atamale. Pie. .love. Tamales. And. Chile. Rellenos ...
@@jualinesadler1886, it’s very easy. I learned this from my Mother, who was a single parent. All she did was use can tamales, drained, a large can of Wolf brand chili with beans, a smaller can of regular Chili, a few chopped onions, Fritos, and grated cheese. I heat my chili on the stove, then layer in Pyrex dish. Cover with foil, and bake on 350 for 3-40 minutes. It’s easy and delicious.
I still love your channel and all that you share. My mom has me watching you. When my kids were young they didn't like the onion or the vegetables so I would run part of the sauce through the blender so I got the flavor of it of the Fresh Veggies but they didn't have to know it was in there. What I do is when I brown hamburger a brown a whole bunch at a time and then I break it down into bags and put it into the freezer and then when I want to make a meal I just grab that bag of meat that's already cooked
Best sauce is when brown sugar & chopped up dates are added.
I know this is an older video but it showed up tonight in my UA-cam suggestions. As a fellow Georgia peach from south GA I too make southern spaghetti sauce very similar to yours minus the marinated mushrooms. Just night before last I told my husband if I had to request a last meal I’d request my spaghetti but now I’m going to try your sauce and I’ll bet it will be my favorite as a last meal.
@hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
love it Tammy... Im Italian and grew up with simmering sauce all day long and sometimes its just to heavy and just to much. this looks light and delicious cant wait to try it
That looks delicious! I've been looking for a good spaghetti recipe. Can't wait to try it! ❤
✨❤️I wouldn't say that was a mistake Tammy, I think that chunk tomatoes are perfect in your sauce! That's just ...More Mia Amore to love! 💕
🤜🏻☮️✝️🛐🤛🏽
@hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I am Italian and I love our sauce and the way we make it. But for a country girl you could make beautiful spaghetti sauce your way I’m going to try it because it looks very very good. Thank you for sharing. All you need is a nice glass of red 🍷
All that garlic is what keeps the skeeters off me in Alaska Tammy ❤️😋😁
Hi Tammy! This recipe was an immediate fave with my crew! It's also among the first recipes from your Vol. 1 cookbook they learned to cook on their own, too. We've had it with and without the marinated mushrooms and you're absolutely right about the mushrooms & adding some of the juice adding so much flavor. We really have enjoyed it countless times! Thanks for another video, y'all!
Wonderful!
