Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cans crushed tomatoes 14 ounces each
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1 pound spaghetti pasta
  • ¼ cup pasta water
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Onion

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook slowly for about 5 minutes. Stir often until soft and lightly golden. This step builds sweet flavor for the sauce.

Add Garlic and Chili

  • Add minced garlic and chili flakes into the pan. Stir gently for one minute. The garlic should smell fragrant but not burn. Burnt garlic can make the spaghetti sauce bitter and unpleasant.

Mix in Tomato Paste

  • Add tomato paste into the onion mixture. Stir well for two minutes. Cooking the paste first gives deeper tomato flavor. This small step makes the Gordon Ramsay Spaghetti Sauce Recipe taste richer and fuller.

Pour in Crushed Tomatoes

  • Carefully pour crushed tomatoes into the saucepan. Stir slowly until everything combines nicely. The sauce will already smell amazing. Reduce the heat slightly before adding the seasonings.

Add Herbs and Seasonings

  • Add sugar, salt, black pepper, oregano, and dried basil. Stir gently so every flavor mixes well. These simple Ingredients for Gordon Ramsay Spaghetti Sauce create a bold homemade taste everyone loves.

Simmer the Sauce

  • Let the sauce simmer gently for 25 minutes. Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking. Slow simmering thickens the sauce beautifully and helps all flavors blend perfectly together.

Cook the Spaghetti

  • While the sauce cooks, boil salted water in a large pot. Add spaghetti and cook until tender. Reserve some pasta water before draining. Pasta water helps the sauce coat the spaghetti better.

Add Fresh Basil

  • Turn off the heat and stir fresh basil into the sauce. Fresh basil adds bright flavor and freshness. This step gives the sauce a classic Italian-style finish that tastes wonderful.

Toss Pasta with Sauce

  • Add cooked spaghetti into the sauce pan. Toss gently until every strand gets coated. Add a little pasta water if needed. This creates a silky and smooth spaghetti sauce texture.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy with garlic bread or salad. This Gordon Ramsay Spaghetti Sauce Recipe tastes comforting, rich, and perfect for family dinners.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for stronger flavor.
  • Add ground beef for a meat sauce version.
  • Fresh basil tastes better than dried basil.
  • Simmer longer for thicker spaghetti sauce.
  • Add mushrooms for extra texture.
  • Use whole peeled tomatoes for rustic sauce.
  • Add cream for creamy tomato pasta sauce.
  • A splash of balsamic vinegar adds deeper flavor.
  • Always salt pasta water generously.
  • Save pasta water before draining pasta.
