Today’s recipe for a super simple homemade meat sauce is one of my favorite, easy weeknight meals. I usually will make this sauce on a Sunday and freeze it in three different storage bags for various dinners. Take out the frozen bag the day before, let defrost overnight in the refrigerator and you can warm it up in no time for spaghetti the next night. Typically we serve ours over spaghetti squash or chickpea pasta with a sprinkle of freshly grated cheese. Enjoy!

This looks delicious!
I love how easy this is and that you can freeze it for future meals. Definitely saving for later!
Saving! I am so guilty of buying a jar of spaghetti sauce… I know this will be SO much yummier!
