[recipe] Spaghetti Sauce Seasoning Mix

[Guest guest]

I prefer to make my own seasoning packets for taco

seasoning and the like. I have a great cookbook for

making mixes of this sort. The store-bought versions

are full of additives and overpriced to boot. I am going

to make the recipe for No-Fuss Lasagna this weekend

and it called for using two spaghetti sauce seasoning

packets, so figured some of you might want a copy of

the recipe for them as I will be using it instead of the

storebrand version in that recipe.

 

Hope everyone's Friday is going well thus far.

 

Spaghetti Sauce Seasoning

 

1 Tbs dried minced onion

1 Tbs dried parsley flakes

1 Tbs cornstarch

2 tsp dried green pepper flakes

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp instant minced garlic

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp Italian seasoning

 

Combine all the ingredients in a small dish and stir t

o evenly combine. Spoon into a 6 inch square of foil

and fold to make an airtight packet. Label with date

and store it in a cool dry place for up to 3 months.

Yield: 1 packet mix (approx.1/3 cup)

To make a spaghetti sauce using this mix, combine the

seasoning packet with:

2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce

1 (6 oz) can tomato paste

2 3/4 cups tomato juice or water

 

Simmer all together for 30 minutes.
