Rich, thick, and satisfying, my best spaghetti meat sauce recipe combines the same great flavors as your favorite meatballs without all the fuss.
Spaghetti is one of our go-to meals. It's easy, filling, and delicious. Many of the store-bought spaghetti sauces contain allergens or other hidden ingredients. This spaghetti meat sauce recipe is allergy-free and contains just a few simple ingredients. What I love most is how versatile it is. I use it in lasagna and on gluten-free pizza. Use this spaghetti meat sauce recipe on top of gluten-free spaghetti, and serve with salad and gluten-free bread for a complete weeknight meal.
INGREDIENTS

How to Make Spaghetti Meat Sauce

How to Freeze Meat Sauce
Store and freeze any leftover spaghetti meat sauce to use later. To freeze the meat sauce first, let it cool completely. Place the sauce in an airtight, freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to use, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
