8 ounces mushrooms fresh, chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce (see notes above)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place tomatoes a few at a time in the water and remove after 10-15 seconds.
Immediately place tomatoes in an ice-water bath and remove skins and stems. Cut tomatoes into fourths and place in a food processor or blender.
Process tomatoes a few times, you want them to be the consistency of crushed tomatoes (don't over process). Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and sauté until they become soft and transparent.
Add mushrooms and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add soy sauce and garlic and continue to cook until mushrooms become soft.
Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally for at least one hour. The longer the better! Ideally 2+ hours.
Serve over cooked pasta.

Notes

If you like a "chunky" homemade garden spaghetti sauce, just chop up any veggies you like and stir them in while sautéing the onions.
