How would you like to know how to make the perfect dinner party meal? Well this is the perfect spot for you. In this Instructable, you will learn how to make spaghetti with homeade meat sauce. This recipe is great for any dinner party, holiday, or even just for dinner with your family.

Ingredients for the sauce include:

• olive oil
• 1 pound ground chuck
• 1 can tomatoes
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 can tomato soup
• mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 ribs celery, sliced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1 teaspoon fennel
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon parsley

Ingredients for the noodles include:

• 1 package of spaghetti noodles
• Salt
• Olive oil

For the first step, you will need to gather all of the ingredients necessary for making the sauce to create a more organized cooking environment and to make sure you are fully prepared.

For the second step, you will need to grab your onion and celery. For the onion, you can get either a full onion and chop it up yourself, or you can get pre-chopped onions. If you are going to chop the onion yourself, chop them up with a knife on a cutting board and set it aside. If you are going to get pre-chopped onions, then just set them aside on a cutting board. For the celery, you need to grab 2 ribs and wash them. Set the washed celery on the same cutting board as the onion and slice it into small pieces.

Pour your chopped onions and celery into a pot along with a splash of olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes, making sure they are a little browned and soft.

Next, take your veggies out of the pot and set them aside. Get the meat out of the package and pull it apart into a pot. You can use the same pot you used to sauté your veggies. Cook the meet until fully brown.

Once your meat is fully brown, drain it through a strainer and put it back into the pot. Next, grab your onions and celery that you set aside and put them in the pot along with the meat.

For your next step, add all of the tomato ingredients to the pot along with the meat and veggies. This includes tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato soup.

Measure out all of the spices and mix them together in a separate bowl.

Add your bowl of mixed spices and the mushrooms to the big pot along with the other ingredients already included.

Stir together all of the ingredients in the pot with a wooden spoon until evenly mixed. Put the lid on the pot and let your sauce simmer for three hours.

While your sauce is still simmering and has about 30 minutes left until done, grab a new pot and fill about halfway with water. Put the pot on the stove at high. Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the water to help the water come to a boil. Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into the water as well to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Once the water has come to a boil, lightly drop your noodles into the pot. Frequently stir for around 10 minutes until noodles are soft.

When your sauce is done simmering and your noodles are fully cooked, drain your noodles with a strainer. If you don't want to eat this right away, you can refrigerate your noodles and sauce in two separate bowls to keep them fresh for a few days. If you want to serve immediately, put some of your noodles in a bowl, add some sauce on top, and serve.

Now, it's time to enjoy your spaghetti! This is perfect for a large group, so make this your next dinner party meal! It's great the way it is, but you can always add parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor! Enjoy!
