Spaghetti Sauce VII - Hearty Mushroom Spaghetti Sauce - 2016
​​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Don Wozny

INGREDIENTS
  • ¼ cup  extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic clove (large) -- minced
  • ¾ cup  onion -- minced
  • 10 ounces  mushrooms -- sliced
  • 6 ounces  mushrooms (Portobello) -- sliced
  • ½ cup  dry red wine
  • 1 ½ teaspoons  salt
  • 2 can (28 oz)  crushed tomatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon  crushed red pepper
  • ½ teaspoon  black pepper
  • ¼ cup  fresh parsley -- chopped
  • ¼ cup  fresh basil -- chopped

​PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a 3 to 4 quart saucepan.  Add garlic.  Cook and stir constantly over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown.  Add onion and, stirring frequently, continue cooking for about 8 minutes or until the onion is soft and golden.  Add mushrooms and keep cooking until they've given up their liquid.  Raise heat slightly and reduce most of the liquid.  Add wine.  Continue cooking until the liquid is almost fully reduced.  Add tomatoes, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add fresh parsley and basil; simmer for the final 5 minutes. 

The recipe does not include meat, but I suggest adding 1 lb. of ground Italian sausage or hamburger.

Editor's Note: The recipe for Hearty Mushroom Spaghetti Sauce was originally published in the 1997 Edition under Main Dishes, but was added to the Sauces section in 2016. We wanted to make sure this delicious recipe didn't get overlooked when looking for spaghetti sauce recipes!
