Cooking Instructions for Fazoli's Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
    Heat the Oil
    1. Add olive oil to a large saucepan. Heat over medium flame until warm. This creates the base for sautéing onions and garlic.
    Cook Onions
    1. Add chopped onions to the pan. Cook until soft and slightly golden. Stir frequently to prevent burning and build flavor.
    Add Garlic
    1. Add minced garlic to the onions. Cook for one minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
    Add Tomato Base
    1. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a smooth mixture.
    Season the Sauce
    1. Add salt, pepper, sugar, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently so spices blend evenly into the sauce.
    Add Liquid
    1. Pour in water or vegetable broth. Mix well to adjust sauce thickness and improve texture.
    Simmer Slowly
    1. Reduce heat to low. Let the sauce simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
    Adjust Flavor
    1. Taste the sauce carefully. Add more salt, sugar, or herbs if needed. Adjust seasoning based on personal preference.
    Blend for Smooth Texture
    1. For a smoother sauce, use a blender or immersion blender. Blend until you reach desired consistency.
    Serve Warm
    1. Turn off heat. Serve the sauce over cooked spaghetti or your favorite pasta dish.

    • Let sauce rest before serving.
    • Add fresh basil for extra freshness.
    • Blend for restaurant-style smoothness.
    • Cook longer for richer taste.
    • Store overnight for better flavor.
