'Grandma's' (Nonna's) Tuscan Spaghetti Meat Sauce Recipe Reprise (Fast!)

*PLEASE RATE*

Here's my great-grandmother's recipe, again. It's easier to see in the pot and only one video this time. Family and traditional. From Lucca in Tuscany, Italy. This recipe is at least 100 years old since her mother probably made it. Learn to make it from scratch!: Green peppers, carrots, onions, garlic, oregano. The spice secret is the mix of oregano, salt, pepper and garlic, heavy on the oregano and garlic!:

I think Grandma forgot to tell you how to prep and prepare the ingredients. You just don't throw everything in a pot like a stew and hope for the best.

@LittleBoPeeps Give advice.

And it's "throw everything into a pot like a stew".

The ingredients you're using are pretty common for this type of sauce however kind of under stirred, under cooked and over salted but hey I have not tasted it so it might be good. I'm going to try and make some myself. Thou I wont follow every single step from your video I will use some of your ingredients. Thanks for posting.

@FearNoBitch You're welcome. Thank you.

@MarkBH70 What region of Italy does your family come from? Our family originates from Calabria, our spaghetti sauce is... different to yours in that yours has a lot more extra ingredients and the process is different.

We always brown 1 sliced onion and chopped garlic in olive oil with basil, salt, pepper and sugar.

Beef cuts reserved for stews, pork trotters or pork on the bone or chicken

Red wine

tin tomatoes and a bottle of tomato reduced tomato sauce.

Cooked for 2 - 3 hours
