Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the mushrooms.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well.
Lower the heat slightly and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately over cooked spaghetti or your pasta of choice. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
