Quick & Simple Mushroom Marinara

This sauce is a perfect swap for bolognese if you want to go veg for a meal. Because of the mushrooms you won't sacrifice the "meatiness". Total prep/cook time was approximately 20 minutes and I let the sauce simmer at low for a while.

Ingredients
yellow onion, chopped
fresh basil, chopped
garlic, minced
5 baby bella mushrooms, chopped
1 small can of organic Muir Glen tomato paste
1 can organic Muir Glen no salt added tomato sauce
1 can organic Muir Glen no salt added fire roasted diced tomatoes
extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground pepper
dry parsley
garlic salt
crushed red pepper
oregano
Sauteed mushrooms, onions, garlic + basil

Directions
1. In a large sauce pan drizzle EVOO and set at medium heat. Throw in chopped onions, mushrooms, garlic and basil. Sauté.
2. Once browned throw in the canned tomatoes, paste and diced tomatoes. 
3. Stir in spices to taste. Don't overdo it on the crushed red pepper as you do not want it to be too spicy. 
4. Cover with lid and let simmer for 30 min+ on lowest heat setting. 





You can use this sauce on any pasta you want or as your sauce for a homemade pizza. Enjoy!

Happy Cooking!
