Spaghetti Sauce

I already have a really good spaghetti sauce recipe, but if it doesn't cook all day, then it just doesn't taste right.  Honestly who has time to cook sauce all day, every time they want spaghetti. Not me! This year, my husband and I were inspired by a friend to try 52 new recipes in the year 2017. We jumped right in, by giving a new spaghetti sauce a try. Guess what... It was amazing!

Spaghetti Sauce


2 lbs mild Italian pork sausage
2 tbsp olive oil
1 med onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
ground pepper
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
2 (16 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced and sautéed in butter
parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Brown the sausage, onion, and garlic, in the olive oil with the bay leaves, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes.
Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms.
Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Use sauce to cover cooked spaghetti.
Add parmesan to top and voila! It's amazing.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
