GRANDMA MAGGIO'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This is one that was recited to me out of memory alone, and described as a hand of garlic, etc., though the ingredient quantities should be accurate. I encourage buying the cheapest versions of these ingredients you can find; it will feed an army for about $15 without ruining the taste. You should add more seasonings based on preference. A great vegetarian sauce, and with meatballs...it makes great meatball sandwiches.

- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion and garlic until translucent but not browned, 6 to 7 minutes.

Let the sauce simmer until the seasonings are blended and the sauce is heated through, about 3 more minutes.

Steps:
- Cook sausage, onions, mushrooms, and garlic in skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Cover. Cook on Low 8-9 hours.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Fresh tomatoes are best, but you can also use canned whole tomatoes if they're not in season. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're using a large pot, you may need to cook the sauce in batches. Otherwise, the sauce will be watery and not have as much flavor.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
- Add some fresh herbs to the sauce. Basil, oregano, and thyme are all good choices. They'll add a lot of flavor and freshness to the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste. Salt and pepper are the basics, but you can also add other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti sauce is a versatile dish that can be used in a variety of ways. It's great with spaghetti, of course, but it can also be used with other types of pasta, like penne or macaroni. It's also a great topping for pizza or lasagna. And, of course, it's delicious all on its own with a piece of crusty bread. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this homemade Italian spaghetti sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
