Title: Rusty’s Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
– 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring occasionally until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the ground beef to the saucepan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

4. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir gently to incorporate the seasonings, then reduce the heat to low.

5. Let the sauce simmer gently for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The longer the sauce simmers, the richer the flavors will become. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.

6. While the sauce is simmering, prepare your pasta according to package instructions.

7. Once the Rusty’s Spaghetti Sauce has reached your desired flavor and consistency, serve it hot over your cooked pasta of choice. Garnish with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor.

8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
