Basic Spaghetti Sauce

- 2 hours to make
- Serves 8
I came up with this one a long time ago, back before I started buying Stouffers® Lasagna, when my own lasagna was REALLY from scratch (read 'sauce made from my homegrown tomatoes')!! One can cook up a pound of ground round or chuck, crumbled into a fry pan, before adding the remaining ingredients, if Italian Meat Sauce is desired.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil (omit if cooking with meat) shopping list
- 1 large onion, chopped shopping list
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced or chopped shopping list
- 1 garlic clove, minced shopping list
- 1 quart tomatoes, crushed shopping list
- 1/4 cup sugar shopping list
- 1 tsp oregano shopping list
- 2 tsps crushed basil shopping list
- 2 Tbsps dried parsley shopping list
How to make it
- In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions, mushrooms and garlic in olive oil until veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Stir tomatoes into pan with sugar and seasonings. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and simmer 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until sauce is of desired consistency.
- Serve or preserve, as you wish.
