Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large yellow onion
• 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 large garlic clove
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the spaghetti cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Thinly slice the yellow onions. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and add it to the onions. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour the canned crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Add the sugar, salt, black pepper, and 1 cup of water. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. If it’s too tangy, you can add a pinch more sugar.

Step 8

Once the sauce is ready, toss the cooked spaghetti into the skillet with the sauce and mix until the noodles are well coated.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your warm plate of Isabel's Jewish Spaghetti!
