Wanted to eat some "party spaghetti" one day, but I don't like the sweet kind. I just want it with some ready-made spaghetti sauce.Got some ground beef, opened a can of button mushrooms or shiitake (i prefer this, it gives the sauce a little twist) and chopped them into small pieces.
Next, I chopped up some tomatoes, onions, garlic, carrots and celery.
Ok, sauté time. Heat some olive oil in a pan, throw in the onions, stir until they're slightly clear, then throw in the celery, and garlic. Give it a few seconds, then mix in the tomatoes. Keep stirring till the tomatoes become soggy. Then mix in the beef and the mushrooms, cook for a few minutes. Pour in the spaghetti sauce and just keep stirring. Add a little salt and pepper and a pinch of dried basil leaves. I let it simmer for around 15 minutes or longer to make the sauce naturally sweet.
Cook the spaghetti with a little salt and a lot of dried oregano.
*I'm ok using dried herbs and canned vegetables. They're fine. :-)
