  3. 1 medium onion, chopped
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 green pepper, chopped
  6. 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  7. 1 bay leaf
  8. ¼ tsp oregano
  9. 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Cook the Vegetables & Beef:
    In a large pot, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onions, garlic, green pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.

  • Add Tomatoes & Seasoning:
    Stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, bay leaf, oregano, and Italian seasoning.

  • Simmer:
    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  • Remove Bay Leaf:
    Before serving, remove the bay leaf.

  • Serve:
    Serve the sauce with cooked spaghetti noodles or your favorite pasta. Top with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to add more vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • This sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
  • If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend it before serving.
