How to Make Kicked Up Jar Sauce Thick And Chunky
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 1 chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add 1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite pasta sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more red pepper flakes for heat, herbs for depth of flavor, or a splash of balsamic vinegar for tanginess.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, meatballs, or chicken!
