The “Really Fancy” Spaghetti Sauce
I’ve been cooking this recipe for a very long time. I learned it from a friend, who learned it from a friend, whose mom taught him. This is the sauce you bust out to impress someone, but it’s not hard at all. It’s full of veggies and it’s really chunky and looks as amazing as it tastes. This recipe calls for a lot of chopping of vegetables, so you should be able to handle a knife. It’s vegan, and if you water saute and buy the salt free versions of the canned tomatoes, it is SOS (salt, oil, sugar) free. And you can use a gluten free pasta, as well.
Ingredients:
- 1 tall pot for the sauce, 1 pot for the pasta, a strainer for the pasta, a sharp knife and cutting board
- 1 pound (0.5 kg) box pasta of your choice (you don’t have to cook all of it, depends on how many people are eating. About a quarter of the box per person)
- 1 29 ounce (822 grams) can of tomato sauce (you can get salt free versions of all of these)
- 1 15 ounce (425 grams) can of diced tomatoes
- 1 8 ounce (226 grams) can of tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons (10mL) oil for sauteing (or water saute)
- 1 medium to large yellow or white onion
- 2-3 cloves of garlic (I love garlic so feel free to add more)
- 1 green bell pepper (capsicum)
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper (some stores sell a package with all three colors together)
- 1 8 ounce (226 grams) box of mushrooms (sliced or whole)
- Seasoning: A jar of Italian herbs (or basil and oregano and rosemary and thyme)
- Salt to taste
Directions:
- Chop all your vegetables first! The French have this thing called “mise en place” which means get all your prepwork done first and things will go a million times faster.
- The onion and garlic are going in first, so dice them and set those aside. Clean and chop the bell peppers into fairly large pieces (about an inch square). Clean and slice the mushrooms (if you bought them whole). Open up all your cans and set those aside.
- Turn the stove onto medium high (8) and heat the oil. When it’s hot, add the onion and garlic. Saute for a couple of minutes, then add the peppers and mushrooms (your pot is going to pretty full). Stir those around for a couple of minutes, getting them hot and softening them just a little. They’re going to cook in the sauce for a while and get soft anyway.
- Add the three cans of tomatoes. The paste is really thick and you’ll have to stir it to get it to mix in.
- Add the Italian seasonings, about 3 tablespoons of the blend or 1 tablespoon of each)
- Bring the sauce back up to a bubble and then lower the heat to about a (4) and simmer for a while. Twenty minutes is a good number. Keep an eye on it and stir it every few minutes so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- Once it’s simmering, start the pasta according to the directions on the box. When it’s done, drain the pasta and you can eat!
