How to Make Weirdly Wonderful Spaghetti Sauce
- Sautee 1 medium onion, 2 stalks celery, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, in 2 tablespoons olive oil for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons white vinegar to the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of tomato paste, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. Simmer for at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
- After 4 hours, if the sauce is too thick, add water, 1/2 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached. In a small bowl, dissolve 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar in 2 tablespoons of water and stir into the sauce.
- Add 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced; 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley; and 1 pound cooked ground beef. Simmer for another hour, allowing flavors to meld.
