How to Make Crabzilla's Spicy Chunky Garlicky Spaghetti Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat.
- Add 1 large onion (chopped) and 8 cloves garlic (minced) and 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced). Sauté until softened and slightly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in 2 teaspoons dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
- Continue to sauté for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, ensuring the herbs don't burn.
- Add two (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 6 ounces tomato paste, and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and boil for 10 minutes. Use a potato masher to gently crush some of the whole tomatoes for a chunkier texture.
- Add 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional, but recommended) and continue to boil for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the lid and simmer for another 3 hours, or until the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency and has a deep, rich red color.
- Serve over your favorite pasta. Enhance your meal with a fresh green salad and crusty bread.
- Allow the sauce to cool completely before freezing in airtight freezer bags or containers.
