I love pasta!!

I don't think I ever get tired of good old pasta with meat sauce.  Here's my cheater's way to almost homemade sauce:

Kath's Not Quite Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

3 16 oz. cans Hunt's Tomato Puree (not sauce, the sauce is icky salty)
1 small can tomato paste
1/4 c. red wine
1/2 lb. ground Italian sausage
1/2 lb. ground beef
4 cloves garlic
2 T. balsamic vinegar
1 T. sugar
1 lb. baby bellas
1 small onion
pinch of salt
oregano
basil
marjoram

Brown ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat.  Add garlic and chopped onion, continue to cook for about 5 mins.  Add mushrooms and cook about 2 mins more.  Drain off any grease from the meat.

Add the tomato puree, wine, vinegar, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and spices to taste. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for at least 30 minutes.  Taste and adjust spices as needed.

Serve over the pasta of your choice.  Almost homemade, but faster!
