Spaghetti Sauce recipe

This is a great recipe that tastes good on any kind of pasta. We like the store brands.. but I use this when I am feeling ambitious.

One large can crushed tomatos
one medium can stewed tomatos "italian stle"
1 tiny can tomato paste
1 lb sweet italian sausage browned and drained
2 tsp olive EVOO
1 cup wine (red or white works, whatever you have hanging around ya drunk!)
1 medium onion diced VERY small
3 cloves of garlic minced (adjust to taste)
1 tsp crushed red pepper (adjust to taste)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp "italian seasoning"
1 lb sliced mushrooms

black olives, sliced zuchinni or whatever other yummy veggies you can sneak by your family.

ON high preheat a pan and add evoo and heat until its hot. Add garlic and onion. Cook until the onion turns a light golden brown. DO NOT burn the garlic. It will be bitter. Next add the mushrooms sautee until soft. When the mushrooms are done slowly add the wine and using a wooden spoon get all the little pieces off the bottom. Add the salt, sugar, italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.

Dump in the tomatoes and stir in the paste. Next slowly add the italian sausage a little at a time Turn the pot down to the lowest level ou can on your stove and simmer until dinner time... the flavors will only get better and better with time. Sometimes I make it one day and let it set in the frige overnight and then simmer it all day the day I plan to serve it. YUMMY.
