Step 4: To the pot, add the crushed tomatoes, paste, jar of marinara, oregano, thyme, sugar, bay leaves, crushed pepper flakes, and salt. Stir and simmer for a couple of minutes. Then, add the meat, stir, and cover.
Step 5: Allow the mixture to simmer over low to medium-low heat for at least an hour or longer.
Step 6: Add the Parmesan cheese along with parsley after an hour. Stir and let it simmer for additional 30 minutes.
Step 7: When done, enjoy with your favourite pasta or spaghetti squash and top with extra Parmesan cheese.
