It’s ridiculously cold here today and I realized this morning that I cannot for the life of me remember the last time I had spaghetti.
For many years, I was under the impression that spaghetti sauce that didn’t come from a jar or packet mix was the sole domain of little Italian grandmothers. Not so! Last Christmas I manned up and just decided I would make my own – no packet, no jar, just me. And it is good. :) (No, I wouldn’t say it’s as good as Rose Reed’s who taught me how to bake wonderful bread when I was a kid, but I think she’d declare it more than acceptable.)
Now, my recipe doesn’t have mushrooms in it, which some would say is heresy, but I just don’t care for mushrooms in my sauce! However, if you like mushrooms, feel free to add them! I’d think maybe a half cup to a cup of crimini’s would work well, added in when you add the sausage.
Recipe after the jump.
