Lasagna Sauce

By pammy_k

This is a thick, flavorful sauce that doesn't run all over. Use on manicotti, lasagna, or baked ziti. I double the recipe when I use it with lasagna.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 6-ounce cans tomato paste
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/8 cup snipped parsley
• 1 tablespoon dried basil, crushed
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 2 cups water
• Dash ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a 3 quart saucepan, brown ground beef and drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes.
