Meaty Mushroom Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

MUSHROOM SPAGHETTI (SAUCE)

Steps:

• Cook pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season water generously with salt. Add the pasta and until 1-minute shy of al dente, 8-9 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid. (Tip: Start boiling water now. Then, start cooking the pasta when you start cooking the finely diced mushrooms in step 3)
• Sauté the sliced mushrooms: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, UNDISTURBED, for 4 minutes. Stir. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 3-5 minutes or until mushrooms are golden browned and tender. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper. Remove the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
• Start mushroom sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of oil to the pan. Add the diced mushrooms. Cook, UNDISTURBED for 2 minutes. Stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 1-2 minutes.
• Deglaze: Add the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the wine is mostly evaporated.
• Simmer: Add the tomatoes (and their juices) and the tomato sauce. Bring sauce to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in ¼ cup of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in half of the basil.
• Add the pasta & reserved mushrooms to the sauce. Toss for 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thick and coats the spaghetti. If sauce is too thick, add a splash or two of reserved cooking water. Taste and adjust pasta for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Serve: Transfer mushroom spaghetti to serving bowls. Garnish with remaining cheese and remaining fresh basil. Enjoy!
