Mom's Spaghetti
I grew up eating this hearty spaghetti. I also learned to cook with it! It was the first meal my mom let me prepare entirely on my own. I still have the piece of paper she wrote the recipe on when she went to work one summer morning and asked me to cook dinner that night! Serves 4.
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
2 T. olive oil
1 t. garlic, chopped
1 lb. ground beef
1-1/2 t. Italian Herb Seasoning
1 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
1 t. sugar
1 can tomato paste
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 can mushroom pieces, drained
1/2 can chopped black olives
Pasta, cooked and warm
Step-by-step:
1. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is translucent.
2. Add ground beef and brown.
3. Add seasonings, mixing well; brown one minute longer.
4. Stir in tomato paste. Add crushed tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives.
5. Simmer on low with lid on for one hour, stirring occasionally. Serve over pasta.
