Luke'S Wicked Spaghetti Sauce

1. 1

   Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Saute in olive oil, be careful not to cook the garlic too long. I add the onion first, and the garlic for the last couple minutes of cooking.

2. 2

   Brown the ground beef, I drain and discard most of the fat.

3. 3

   In large pot add whole tomatoes (I chop each of these into smaller pieces in the pot.) Add the tomato sauce. Add the tomato paste. Add the beef and the onion/garlic mixture.

4. 4

   Add your red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp depending on how spicy you want it, oregano, basil, sugar, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Mix well and simmer on low for 60-90 mins, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup of water if it gets too thick while simmering. Remove bay leaf, and serve over pasta, top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
