Beef and Mushroom Pasta Sauce

This is an easy to prepare mushroom pasta sauce. I usually serve this over spaghetti, but it’s just as good over any pasta and equally delicious served over cheese ravioli or rice! This also freezes well.

Step: 1

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in basil, oregano, salt, red pepper flakes, fennel, and black pepper.

Step: 2

Pour in diced tomatoes with juice, beef broth, and tomato paste to the saucepan. Mix well. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can made a dish do more often .
