Darins Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups diced carrots
  • 2 1/2 cups diced celery
  • 2 1/2 cups diced onions
  • 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste
  • 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat; add garlic and pepper. Cook and stir mixture until garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir carrots, celery, and onions into the butter, increase heat to medium, and continue to cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir crushed tomatoes, parsley, and sugar into the vegetable mixture. Reduce heat to low and cook mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and simmer to melt the cheese, about 5 minutes more.
  3. Whisk cornstarch into hot water in a small bowl; add to sauce. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes more.
