I love to cook and have never made homemade spaghetti meat sauce. I don’t know what the difference between using fresh tomato’s or canned but I’m willing to try either. Anyways, if anyone has any recipes that would be great. Also, the only meat I will use for this batch is ground beef because I’m making it for my mom and she’s weird about pork and other meats. However I will accept recipes that call for other meats. Thanks everyone!

In jail they mix authentic Italian meat sauce with hot sauce and crackers and call it Duna!

Ground beef works just fine. I honestly, cook mine out of a jar. Sometimes I will add in a can of diced italian flavored tomatoes, and I always added fresh mushrooms, garlic and onion. Let it simmer for at least 2 hours to develop flavor.

Meat sauce
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
2 pounds ground chuck
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground pepper
1 can [29 ounces] tomato puree
2 cans [28 ounces each] fire-roasted tomatoes
1 1/2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning mix (Dell’Alpe recommended)
10 sprigs fresh basil
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons grated Romano cheese
Method
Heat the oil and butter in a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat; add onion. Cook until onion is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the beef, breaking it up with a spoon over medium-low heat, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree and the fire-roasted tomatoes. Stir in the Italian seasoning. Increase heat to medium-high; heat to a boil. Stir in the basil sprigs and sugar. Stir in the Romano cheese. Lower heat to a simmer; cook 1 hour.

Since space is so limited here, I’d rather take you directly to the link with the recipe (it’s from the show Sopranos) and is the way to make sauce…it takes awhile to make because it has to simmer a long time so flavors "marry"…but good sauce has a lot of love in it…lol:

(you will find numerous other excellent recipes on that site as well). I come from Italian-American family and this is a good recipe. Although you want to use only ground beef–you should add some pork or sausage for a complete taste-worthy sauce…seriously

This is the basic recipe from memory. It truly is simple, as most good Italian recipes are. The secret is fresh ingredients. When I stayed with the Italian people I got this recipe from it was much like the one below, without meat. Keep in mind that the pasta part of their meal is usually just an appetizer. However, you can add meat if you wish, as it is only a basic tomato sauce. We used fresh Roma tomatoes, not canned.
Sicilian Tomato Sauce:
2-3 tbsp of quality olive oil
1 onion, chopped finely
10 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-oz) can tomato puree
2 (28-oz) cans crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup parsley, chopped (or 2 tbsp dried)
3 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (or 2 tsp dry)
Fresh Roma tomatoes can be rendered down instead of using canned. Just blanche and peel tomatoes then simmer for an hour or two on low until sauce thickens naturally. Add herbs at the very end.

Fry a large chopped onion and a couple of fat cloves of crushed or grated garlic in a little olive oil until beginning to colour. Add mince and brown all over. Drain off excess oil, now add two tins of chopped tomatoes, a tablespoon of tomato puree, a heaped teaspoon of dried oregano, and season with 1/2 a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of sugar (takes the tinny taste out of the tomatoes) and some freshly ground black pepper. Add a glass of red wine if you like or a drop of water and let it simmer on a low light for an hour. Add some fresh torn up basil leaves just before serving.
Some people add diced carrots and or celery, sometimes sliced mushrooms – it’s not right or wrong, just personal preference – you’ll find as many recipes for Ragu as you will people in Italy – everybody has their own recipe and think it’s the best!!
you can use this for bolognese, or lasagne or canelloni – good luck!!
