How to Make Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and brown slightly.
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- While the onions are cooking, coarsely chop 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms (no need for perfection!).
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms have browned and released their moisture.
- (Optional) Add 1/4 cup dry red wine to the pan and bring to a boil, cooking until the wine has almost completely evaporated (about 2 minutes).
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Serve over your favorite long noodles such as spaghetti or vermicelli. Also delicious over polenta or as a pizza topping!
- Enjoy with a fresh side salad and crusty bread.
