  • Once the sauce is boiling, turn it to medium/low. Leave it covered, and let simmer for about 45 minutes. If you're making meatballs, you can add them to the sauce when they're done cooking.

Notes

How to store leftovers

You can store the leftover sauce on its own, or with meatballs! Make sure it's in an airtight container. (I prefer glass containers.) The sauce will stay fresh for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze leftovers for later! They will stay fresh for about 2-3 months.
If you're using gluten-free spaghetti, I recommend not storing it with the sauce because it tends to get soggy. Store the pasta with a generous amount of olive oil in a separate container.
