Growing up, so many Sunday dinners at our house were pasta and meatballs.  This family meal was always smothered with my Mother’s homemade Spaghetti Sauce.

Loaded with tomato flavour and full of seasonings, this naturally gluten free recipe will delight your taste buds.

How many servings this recipe will serve depends on how generously you serve it up.  We usually can get 10.

To begin making Spaghetti Sauce I diced up a yellow onion, a green pepper and some celery.

Then I added some olive oil to a large pot and turned the burner to medium heat.

Once the oil was heated I added all the cut up vegetables.

Next I measured in some salt, basil, pepper, oregano and chili peppers.

After about 5 minutes of cooking the vegetables and spices, I added in some tomato juice, tomato paste and ground tomatoes.

After stirring together all the ingredients I covered the sauce slightly and let it come to a slow boil.

Once the sauce boiled I lowered the heat to let it simmer for 4 -5 hours.  I stirred it occasionally.

If serving Meatballs as well, add them after the first hour.

For about the last half hour of cooking time I removed the lid to let the sauce thicken a little bit more.

Serve up this tasty sauce on top of your favourite pasta.

Add some hearty meatballs and you have a complete meal!
