The Best Gosh Darn Pasta Sauce You’ll EVER Make

Friends, I must say this is a recipe that I really, really appreciate. My days get so busy from time to time, I would love it if I had an easy meal just waiting for me in the freezer every day. Now, I could buy a dozen boxes of frozen pizza slices but that would probably just make me feel guilty… I’d much rather spend some time making a huge batch of this incredible pasta sauce and then freeze individual portions of it for later! Yum!

This recipe makes a whopping 18 servings, so it really is perfect for making ahead. On the other hand, if there’s a family gathering coming up and you’d like to serve delicious comfort food at its best, just make this and serve with your favorite pasta noodles and some fresh, crusty bread. I guarantee everyone will love it and you won’t have a drop of leftovers!

Quick Tip: Feel free to halve the ingredients if you think 18 servings is too much even for freezing.

Who can resist a homemade pasta carbonara straight from Mom’s kitchen? Definitely not me! I grew up in a household where everyone enjoyed a heartily made pasta dish every weekend. I remember how my brother and I used to fight over the last serving of Mom’s pasta carbonara… with me winning, of course. Every Friday, we used to sit down in the living room, watch a rerun of a TV series and talk about which type of pasta should go with lunch the next day. I know. TV series and pasta are two different topics, but hey, food and TV always complement each other!

Pasta was a serious business and we really took it seriously—from discussing the type of sauce to what type of pasta should be used. Dad preferred pasta with a red sauce, but my brother and I had always preferred the white sauce. He also preferred the traditional spaghetti noodles while my brother and I preferred fettucine. It was always two against one so we always won! I will never forget how Mom’s Carbonara seemed to just melt in my mouth. She was always generous with the sauce and the bacon—the ultimate deciding factors on how good a carbonara would be! I have been looking all over until I finally found this simple recipe that was close to that homemade creamy goodness.

Quick tip: Add milk if you prefer thinner sauce.

There is something to be said for the term “less-is-more,” so when you’re looking to whip up something quick in the kitchen, this recipe will do the trick.

With fresh Parmesan, and a beefy sauce, you can’t go wrong with a hearty and easy recipe like this.  Using a leaner beef will cut back on the calories.  This dish is ready in less than 30 minutes, and will make mouths happy.
