Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup onions, diced about half of a large onion
  • 24 - 28 oz canned whole tomatoes
  • 2 lbs fresh Roma tomatoes diced
  • 5-6 large garlic cloves
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In large stock pot, heat oil over medium/medium-low. Add onion and garlic and sauté until it starts to brown, stirring often. Approximately 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add mushrooms to pot, stir, and cook until they have released most of their liquid. 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add whole tomatoes (with fluid) and fresh diced tomatoes and bring heat up to medium. Stir well, break up whole tomatoes a bit with a wooden spoon as you stir.
  4. Add oregano, rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper and mix well.
  5. Turn heat down a little to medium-low, and let rapid simmer for at least 45 minutes, stirring often. Or low and let it gently simmer, although it will reduce more slowly at a lower temp.
  6. Once it has thickened to your liking, serve over your favorite pasta or lasagna.

Notes

  • Substitute crushed tomatoes for whole, or substitute another can of 28 oz tomatoes for the fresh romas. Our favorite brands are Muir Glen or Cento San Marzano.
  • Substitute dried herbs for fresh by subbing 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
  • To freeze:  Let cool completely and then add to freezer safe bags / containers for up to 3-4 months.
  • Store in airtight container and store in fridge for up to 5 days.
