This recipe, as it is written, makes about 6 servings, give or take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Meat of choice<span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">*<\/span><\/li><li>4 Tbsp butter<\/li><li>1\/4 cup onion, diced<\/li><li>1 jar mushrooms<span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">**<\/span><\/li><li>1\/2 tsp garlic powder<\/li><li>2 Tbsp Italian seasoning&nbsp;<\/li><li>1 24 oz can pasta sauce<span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">***<\/span><\/li><li>1 15 oz can tomato sauce<span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">****<\/span><\/li><li>1\/4 tsp salt<\/li><li>1\/4 baking soda<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Prepare meat &#8211; either brown hamburger or sausage in skillet seasoned with salt, pepper, 1\/4 tsp garlic, and 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning (these seasonings are separate from what is called for in the sauce) OR make <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\/?p=768\" target=\"_blank\">meatballs<\/a>.<\/li><li>Melt butter in 3 quart saucepan. Add onion and mushrooms<span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">**<\/span> Saute until onion is soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add Italian Seasoning and saut\u00e9 until butter is absorbed and herbs are fragrant.<\/li><li>Pour in pasta sauce, tomato sauce, and add all remaining ingredients. Stir well.<\/li><li>Add browned meat or meatballs.<\/li><li>Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes or more. The longer you simmer, the more incorporated the flavors will be. If you are going to simmer for longer than 45 minutes, do not add the meat until the final 20-30 minutes.<\/li><li>Prepare noodles &#8211; thin spaghetti, spaghetti, linguini, whatever you want &#8211; as directed on the package.<\/li><li>Serve sauce on noodles, offer Parmesan cheese, make garlic toast.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">*<\/span>You can use 1 lb hamburger, 1 pound sausage, a mixture of both, or you can make <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\/?p=768\" target=\"_blank\">meatballs<\/a>.<br><span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">**<\/span>Can use chopped green peppers, diced carrots, or a combination of these. 1\/4 cup or so.<br><span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">***<\/span>I use Hunt&#8217;s Traditional Pasta sauce as my base, but you can use whatever brand you want. If you want to use canned tomato sauce for the entire thing, use 2 15 oz cans of sauce and 1 cup of water and use 3\/4 tsp garlic and 3 tbsp Italian Seasoning &#8211; or experiment to taste. Also, if making from plain tomato sauce, you will want to simmer it at least an hour, adding the meat for the last 30 minutes.<br><span style=\"color:#e87e00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">****<\/span>This recipe makes about 6 helpings. If you want to make less, just use the canned pasta sauce and omit the tomato sauce and 1 tbsp Italian seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not a finicky recipe.
