Menu Monday - The best speghetti sauce you'll ever eat

I still haven't finished the recovery section of Autumn's birth story yet, so that will be here on Thursday. Btw... she's 3 weeks old today! :)

Her Squishy Face. I love it so much!

Anyway, onto the menu for this week and a recipe from what we made last week.

The 2 dishes that we will be making this week are:

1. Bratwurst and Sauerkraut
2. Chicken with Mushrooms and Swiss Cheese Casserole (Recipe to be featured next week)

The recipe from last weeks meals: The Best Speghetti Sauce You Will Ever Eat (Not kidding)

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsps olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 white onion, diced
• 24.5 oz can of crushed tomatoes
• 15 oz can of diced petite tomatoes
• 1/4 bottle of Chianti (red wine) [note: better wines make better sauce]
• Sugar, to taste
• Salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes - all to taste
• Mozzarella cheese for topping

Directions:

1. Saute garlic and onions in the olive oil over medium heat, until onions are tender. 
2. Add both cans of tomatoes, sugar, and seasonings. Taste and adjust as you see fit.
3. Add the wine and turn the heat down to low. Simmer until the sauce has thickened to your liking. [typically we let it simmer for at least an hour. We like the sauce less runny.]
4. Put sauce over cooked noodles, and cover with mozzarella cheese [At least that's my preferred way of eating it!]

Easy recipe, awesome taste. Try it and tell me if you like it! :)

Until tomorrow,
Amy
