How to Make Delicious Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce
To begin, heat the olive oil in a deep sauté pan and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Add the remaining ingredients: tomatoes, water, tomato puree, oregano, chilies, and salt, excluding the meatballs.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Keep in mind that the longer you simmer the sauce, the thicker it will be and the greater depth of flavor it will have.
During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the meatballs so they cook along with the sauce.
Finally, serve the hot sauce over freshly cooked spaghetti and enjoy this delicious combination.
