This spaghetti sauce recipe is wonderful. I never have enough sauce from just a jar alone. I also like the taste of fresh ingredients. I like to combine both in this recipe! The red wine makes all the difference. Serve on your favorite pasta with mushrooms and mozzarella cheese on top.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

  • 1 cup red wine, divided

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 cup diced yellow onion

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes

  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • ½ cup chopped green bell pepper

  • ¼ cup minced garlic

  • 2 tablespoons oregano

  • 2 tablespoons basil

  • 1 tablespoon rosemary

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

  • 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Directions

  1. Melt butter with olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir mushrooms in butter and oil until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 1/4 cup red wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mushrooms are very dark and shrunken in size, about 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef, yellow onion, diced tomatoes, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until beef is completely browned, about 10 minutes. Season with oregano, basil, and rosemary.

  3. Stir 3/4 cup red wine and tomato paste into beef mixture. Pour spaghetti sauce into the pot; stir. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until flavors blend, 10 to 30 minutes. Serve over your favorite pasta and top with mushrooms.
