Italian Spaghetti Recipe

Updated on April 24th, 2019

Italian spaghetti is the most popular type of spaghetti there is. This particular spaghetti recipe offers a delicious meat sauce. The sauce is seasoned with various Italian seasonings such as oregano, garlic and basil. You can make adjustments to this recipe if you desire. For example, you could leave out the mushrooms or add more garlic. I enjoy adding pepperoni slices to my spaghetti sauce but that is totally optional. You will want to simmer the sauce for at least a 1 hour and 30 minutes. The longer the simmer the better the sauce will taste. This sauce freezes extremely well. Enjoy.
