Spaghetti Sauce with Viviana's Tomato Basil Fettuccine Noodles

 I love pasta and I love spaghetti sauce; however, I usually only like my mom's spaghetti recipe. It's not too sweet, its full of flavor, and it always tastes great! The secret is to look for a spaghetti sauce with low sugar and simmer the sauce for at least three hours. (Sometimes we sneak into the sauce and eat it as soon as it starts boiling. It's still delicious, but the longer it cooks, the better it tastes.) This recipe makes a lot! We always have left overs, but you can always half the recipe or freeze the sauce for future use.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-2 medium onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 pounds of ground beef
• 1 large can of crushed tomatoes
• 2 cans of tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce (buy the sauce with the lowest amount of sugar, like 4-6 grams)
• 1/2 cup of Pace Picante sauce
• few drops of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons of dried basil
• crushed red pizza peppers, to taste (optional)
• fresh pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. In a large pan, saute the onions, garlic, and bell pepper in oil. Add the meat and cook until both the meat and onions are completely cooked. 
2. Add the remaining ingredients.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Simmer on low heat for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
5. Taste test and add/change seasonings, if needed.
6. Serve over spaghetti noodles.
7. Enjoy!

I found these noodles at my local TJ Maxx. I love the Viviana Brand and these tomato basil noodles were full of flavor!
