Sandy's Spaghetti Sauce

"Another creation by my mother-in-law, who is one of those cooks that can come up with delicious recipes off the top of her head! The sauce is more chunky than smooth texture. Yield: Enough sauce for about 1 lb of pasta."

directions

  • Heat pan on high for 1-2 minutes. Add about 1/4 cup of oil to pan, enough to cover the bottom.
  • Add a little bit of garlic (maybe 1/4), all the onions, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Lower heat immediately to medium or medium high.
  • Saute veggies for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add a sprinkle of salt to bring out the mushroom juice.
  • Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, tarragon, crushed red pepper, the rest of the garlic, and a few shakes of black pepper (and olives and parsley, if using). If adding olives, be careful about adding salt, since the olives are salty. Rinsing them first helps.
  • Stir and simmer on low heat for 40 minutes or longer.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Depending on the tomatoes, you may have to add more salt or sugar. If the tomatoes are kind of sour, add a small sprinkle of sugar.
