Spagetti Sauce

I love spaghetti, but I don't love using the jars of sauce when I am just pouring them over noodles. You know what I mean? So when I'm making spaghetti, I always use this recipe. It is almost as easy as opening a jar and a hundred trillion times better. And it feels like more than meal when you make the sauce. You know? Less of a cop out or something. In the summer, you can substitute the canned tomatoes and dried herbs for fresh and, oh man.

1 pound ground turkey/beef

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes

1 (16 oz) can tomato sauce

1 (6 oz) can tomato paste

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

½ tsp black pepper

Combine ground turkey/beef, onion and garlic in a large pan. Brown. Drain grease. Add everything else. Simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally, and periodically smelling it and adding a little more of this and that until it suits your liking.
