Pasta Sauce

  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 small onion or 1/2 large onion (use more or less according to your preference) diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced (use more or less according to your preference)
  • 1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
  • 2 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes
  • handful of fresh basil (optional)
  • 2 handfuls of fresh spinach (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms (optional)

Warm the olive oil in a heavy duty pan (cast iron, Le Crueset, etc)

Cook the onion and garlic until soft.  Add the mushrooms, if desired, and cook until soft

Add the crushed and diced tomatoes

Cook on medium for 20 minutes.  Add the basil and spinach, if desired.

Serve over pasta or use in pasta bake.

Note:  This is really versatile and you can add Italian sausage, ground beef, or shrimp to this recipe.  Unless I am using shrimp, I always make it without meat and add the meat after the sauce is cooked because I have a vegetarian in the family.
