I love spaghetti. I have since I was a little kid. Progresso was always my fav, with a bit of added seasonings. But I am trying to be a bit better about what I eat and wanted something more organic for me. Something I knew what I was putting into my body. So I developed my own sauce. And it rivals anything you can get from a can. Here's how it goes:
Prep Time
30 min
Cook Time
30 min
Total Time
1 hr
Ingredients
- 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
- 4-5 Large Carrots, chopped
- 5-6 Celery Stalks, chopped
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
- 4-5 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1 Package Button Mushrooms, chopped
- 1 Can Diced Tomatoes
- 2 Can Tomato Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Parsley Flakes
- 1 Tbsp Oregano
- 1 Tbsp Basil
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In Medium pot, heat the olive oil.
- Add all the veggies except for the mushrooms
- Add salt and sweat the veggies until translucent
- Add Tomatoes and tomato sauce
- Add mushrooms
- Add the herbs
- Let simmer so the flavors meld
- Put in blender to smooth it out
Notes
- I almost always add ground turkey or beef. This is my base sauce for spaghetti, lasagna, and pretty much any other Italian tomato based sauce.
