I am not a big fan of marinara sauce and neither is my husband. However, once in a while spaghetti or pasta sounds really good. So, I made up my own Bolognese sauce and we simply love it.
Hint: I have even taken leftover Bolognese sauce and put it on a homemade pizza with tons of cheese. It is fabulous!
Bolognese Sauce
1 lb. hamburger, cooked and drained. Set aside
2 cans petite diced tomatoes or 4 whole tomatoes pureed in a food processor or blender until slightly chunky but not completely to sauce
1/4 small red onion, finely diced
1 large green onion (or 2 small) finely diced
1/4 green bell pepper, finely diced
1 Tbsp. Butter
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. black ground pepper
1 heaping tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. Italian Seasonings
In deep saucepan, Saute' red onions and peppers in saucepan with 1 Tbsp. butter. Once onions become semi-translucent, add remaining ingredients. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add hamburger and reheat for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve over pasta and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
