Description

A new twist on an old favorite! Sweet spaghetti sauce contrasted with mushrooms, ground beef, and olives. Yum!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Spaghetti
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Sliced Mushrooms
  • 2 cloves Garlic (or 1 Teaspoon Of Crushed Garlic)
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Or Turkey
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 dashes Pepper
  • 26 ounces, weight Marinara Sauce (we Like Trader Joe's)
  • ¼ cups Sugar (you May Want More, Depending On Your Taste)
  • ½ cups Sliced Black Olives
  • 3 dashes Dried Oregano
  • 2 dashes Thyme
  • Grated Parmesan, To Serve

Preparation

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Cook mushrooms and garlic until brown and tender. Remove from the pan to a separate bowl.

Brown ground beef/turkey in the same skillet and season with salt and pepper or seasoning salt. Drain excess fat/oil and return to the pan. Lower heat to medium/low and add marinara sauce. Add sugar and salt and adjust to taste. (My husband likes the sauce sweet so I usually use 1/3-1/2 cup sugar.) Add olives, mushrooms, and other spices to taste and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

Drain pasta and heap on however much sauce you’d like. Top off with fresh grated parmesan and enjoy!
