Making your own spaghetti sauce has several advantages.

To start your spaghetti sauce journey, gather the following ingredients:

Olive Oil: For sautéing vegetables and adding richness.
Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves will elevate the flavor.
Onion: One medium onion adds depth and sweetness.
Fresh Tomatoes: Any you have on hand
Tomato Paste: This enhances the depth of flavor and provides thickness.
Herbs: Fresh or dried basil, oregano, and thyme bring aromatic notes to the sauce.
Salt and Pepper: To taste, of course.
Optional: Red wine for added richness, bell pepper, mushrooms, or even meat for a heartier sauce.

Creating your own spaghetti sauce is a simple yet rewarding cooking endeavor. From the sizzling of garlic and onions to the fragrant simmering sauce, the process is filled with delicious moments.
