This spaghetti sauce is full of vegetables, Italian sausage, ground beef, and Italian herbs — and the longer it cooks, the better! It’s full of flavor and is great for lasagna.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 12 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise, then sliced
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 4 ounces fresh basil, julienned
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 (28 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Cook sausage and ground beef in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini; cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add sausage and beef mixture to the pot, then stir in spinach, basil, garlic, thyme, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 5 minutes, then pour in tomatoes and stir well. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours.
Tips
It's critical to use fresh basil although you can use dried thyme and oregano if desired.
