Salt and pepper it, based on your taste preferences. As for the readiness, it is better to observe the golden mean: the minced meat should not be too raw, but it should not be dry either.
What you need:
- smoked bacon - 300 g;

Cut onion and bacon into small cubes. First, fry the bacon until lightly transparent, then add the onion. If you like mushrooms, then you can add them to the sauce, having previously chopped finely. Fry the mixture thoroughly, put flour in it. Stir and carefully pour in the cream.
The sauce is brought to a boil over low heat and cooked until slightly yellowish in color. Salt and add spices. Spaghetti or pasta is poured over the sauce immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot.

Fry the minced meat in a saucepan over medium heat, where the sauce will be prepared. Add vegetables and spices there. After that, the fire is reduced to the very minimum and chopped tomatoes are placed at the very end. Salt and pepper to taste. When the sauce is ready, it is served hot with fresh pasta.
Spaghetti can also be an independent dish if you prepare a delicious Italian tomato sauce for them. In order to make it tasty and aromatic, it is best to use the freshest vegetables, in particular tomatoes. If you don't have any, try replacing them with canned tomatoes.

Place vegetables in a blender and grind until smooth.

Sun-dried tomato recipe:
I only recently appreciated all the charm and taste of Italian spaghetti. In principle, I have always loved spaghetti sprinkled with grated cheese on top, but to fill them with various sauces - no, it didn’t seem to me very tasty.
What still confused me was their appearance. In all the photos, the spaghetti with sauce looked, shall we say, not presentable.
But how wrong I was! With this seemingly simple appearance, a whole palette of taste was hidden. In short, spaghetti with sauce is a VERY TASTY dish.
You, most importantly, figure out which kind of sauce is closer to you and tastier for you.
Tomato sauce is an Italian classic. And today I have prepared 2 types:
- 1st understandable for absolutely everyone - spaghetti sauce from fresh tomatoes
- The second one seems to be more exotic (not more delicious) - from sun-dried tomatoes.
Sun-dried tomatoes appeared in my refrigerators for the first time this year. And I'll tell you - it's delicious. It is not for nothing that in Italy almost all roofs are covered with them during the season. So I recommend it.
So let's start cooking. For the 1st sauce, I took leeks. But this is optional. Can be finely chopped as usual.
finely chop the onion
Put the onion in a frying pan with vegetable oil. Since we are making spaghetti sauce, do not use a strong-smelling oil, so as not to overpower the taste. Ideal olive or deodorized.
Add finely chopped garlic and basil to the onion. If there is no fresh one, you can sprinkle it dry (but not a little). Fry it all.
