    Title: Almost Homemade Spaghetti & Sauce
    Categories: Pasta, Vegetables, Cheese, Herbs, Pork
    Yield: 7 Servings

    1 lb Spaghetti (or other pasta)
    1 tb Olive oil
    1 md Onion; chopped
    3 cl Garlic; peeled, minced
    1 lb Bulk Italian sausage
    1 ts Dried basil
    1 ts Dried oregano
    +=OR=+
    2 ts Italian seasoning
    2 c (8 oz) button mushrooms;
    - well washed/patted dry
    24 oz (to 28 oz) jarred marinara
    - sauce
    1 1/2 c Pasta cooking water
    2 c Fresh grated Parmiggiano
    - Reggiano; NOT the shaker
    - can crap
    Salt & pepper

    Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over
    high heat (the water should taste like the ocean). Add
    pasta and cook until tender, about 7-9 minutes. Drain
    pasta, reserving 1 1/2 cups of pasta water. Set noodles
    aside.

    Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add
    onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until
    onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add sausage
    (or ground beef if you must) and cook until meat is
    cooked through and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.

    Stir in the basil, oregano and mushrooms, cooking just
    until spices are aromatic, about 1 minute. Add marinara
    sauce and simmer sauce until it thickens, 10-15 minutes.

    Add reserved pasta water and simmer for another 10-15
    minutes until sauce thickens again. Stir in cheese and
    simmer an additional 3-5 minutes. Season sauce to taste
    with salt and pepper and serve over cooked spaghetti
    noodles.

    Makes 6 to 8 servings
