Tonight for dinner is spaghetti. An
all-time favorite at our house. I'm Tess
and I'll show you how to make this easy
and delicious spaghetti dinner with a
beef mushroom sauce. (intro music).
Spaghetti has to be one of our top three
meals at our house. it is so easy to make...
comforting and we just love the leftovers!
So let's make the sauce. I have
about a pound of 80/20 ground beef on
medium high heat. I'm stirring, chopping
and browning the ground beef which takes
about five minutes. I'm cooking until
most of the liquid is absorbed. If you
have a fattier ground beef you may want
to drain off the excess fat.  Just a
reminder that you'll be able to find
this recipe, the list of ingredients and
much more in the show more section below.
If you have a chance please check it out.
Now I'm adding in some diced onions, bell
peppers and an entire 8 ounce container
of mushrooms that I cleaned and sliced.
Some of the bigger mushrooms I cut the
slices in half. Adding in some salt and
black pepper , stirring and cooking for
another three to four minutes.
In goes a good dose of minced garlic and
some tomato paste. Giving that a good
stir to mix well and cooking for another
minute and then we'll add in our
tomatoes. I'm adding in a can of crushed
tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce. You
can use all tomato sauce or, if you
really like your spaghetti thick, you can
add a can of tomato sauce and a can of
tomato puree. It is just your preference
and this is what I happen to have on
hand.
For the seasonings I'm keeping it simple.
I'm adding in some dry basil, Italian
seasonings and oregano. You can also add
some red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Stirring to get everything combined...
bringing up to a boil...
turning my heat down to low to a simmer...
covering and cooking for 45 minutes.
It's been 45 minutes and it smells
amazing!
I gave it a taste test and I'm adding in
a teaspoon (total) more of basil, Italian
seasonings and oregano combination.
Stirring, covering and simmering for 10
more minutes. In the meantime I'm going
to make my spaghetti. You can actually
use any pasta that you like. This sauce
is so good for making lasagna or you
could add some cheese at the end for a
cheese pasta sauce. This sauce also
freezes and cans well.
Spooning a couple ladles of sauce over
the spaghetti and topping with some
Parmesan cheese. Serving the spaghetti
tonight with a side salad. You could also
add some Parmesan cheese to the sauce,
then the spaghetti, mix well and then
serve in a large pasta bowl for the table.
It's all good!
