Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow or sweet onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 8 ounces baby bella or white button mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon oregano, fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary, fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon basil, fresh or dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 6 ounces tomato paste 6 oz usually = 1 small can
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes 28 oz usually = 1 large can
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Prep your onion by peeling it and disposing of the core. Peel your garlic, as well.
  • To a food processor or blender, add the prepped onion and garlic, mushrooms, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and basil. Process them on high until it is completely broken down, almost resembling a paste.
  • Add the olive oil and contents of the food processor to a large saucepan over high heat. Sautee for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to release excess liquid.
  • With your heat still on high, add your crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth and stir to combine.
  • Turn your heat all the way down to low, cover, and simmer for at least 15 minutes (the longer the better) until the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
  • Serve hot over pasta and enjoy!

Notes

  • Reducing your meat consumption significantly reduces your carbon footprint. Be kind to the planet (as well as your tastebuds!) with more of these delicious meatless pasta meals.
  • Though this meatless spaghetti sauce is classically served with spaghetti (as the name implies!), it is equally delicious on any other pasta shape.
