HOMEMADE CHUNKY SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Get a skillet deep enough to hold the contents and the liquid of the sauce. Remember that the veggies will cook down so you need not use a pot unless you are doubling the recipe
• Quarter your mushrooms.
• Use about ½ a green pepper. You may use more or less depending on your taste for green pepper.
• Chunk the onion. Kind of like strips then cut the strips in half. This gives the sauce a great flavor.
• Heat your pan and add the olive oil. Make sure that the olive oil covers the bottom of the pan.
• Add your onion and sauté until they are almost clear.
• Add your green pepper and sauté until they are almost soft.
• Add your mushrooms and sauté until they are almost soft.
• If you are using zucchini, add now. This will take awhile to cook down so be patient.
• At this point you may need to add more oil or butter.
• When your veggies are at a good constancy, add 1-2 cans of diced tomatoes, 2 cans of sliced black olives, 2 pinches of dried basil, and the jalapeno or red pepper if you chose to use.
• Cover and let simmer for 30-45 minutes on low.
• Start cooking linguine
• By the time the linguine is done, so should be your sauce.
• Drain and serve linguine and cover with sauce.

LESLIE'S THICK & CHUNKY SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Dice onions & peppers to your liking.( We like medium) Brown sausage or ground beef with peppers & onions over med high heat.(Peppers will still be crunchy) Drain if desired.( I ususally drain beef, & partially drain sausage.) Reduce to medium.
• 2. Add all tomato sauce, then paste, stirring to blend.Add diced tomatoes.
• 3. Add all seasonings& mushrooms. Cover. Allow to cook for 5-10 min. Stirring to avoid sticking.Reduce to med low. Stir occasionally. Taste. Add garlic salt if needed. Serve over pasta of your choice.
• 4. This sauce can be eaten after 30 min., but tastes better if cooked longer. I make this in the morining before work, put the whole pot in fridge, Then pop it back on the stove when I get home to reheat slowly. Something about the sauce getting cold & reheating just makes it taste even better.
• 5. I also use this sauce for baked ziti, chicken parmesean, manicotti & lasangna.
• 6. Used this sauce from freezer to make Tammy Todd's skillet lasangna! So easy & so good!

• Add basil, brown sugar, salt, parsley, and black pepper and mix well.
• Add the Parmesan cheese (yes, to the the sauce) and mix it in well.
• Simmer on low for 2-4 hours stirring occasionally so it won't burn; if you think it needs some thinning down, add about 1/8 cup water at a time; don't add too much because you want it thick so it will stick to your pasta.
• Cook your spaghetti and enjoy! Eat what you want and freeze the rest in containers that will hold the amount you will eat at a sitting.
