Mom's Sketti Sauce
Serves: 6

Ingredients:
1 28oz can Tomato Sauce
1 14.5oz can Italian Style Diced Tomatoes
1 8oz can Tomato Paste,use 1/2 to most of it
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced or chopped
Itialian Seasoning, or various Italian seasonings, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste
Dash of Cayenne Pepper, optional
Generous pinch of White Sugar
8oz Sliced White Mushrooms
Fresh Snipped Parsley for garnish

Directions:
In a large sauce pan, sautee the onions and garlic in olive oil until tender and fragrant. About 2-3 min.
Pour in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and paste.  Rinse cans with a little water and add to pan. Stir to combine.
Season with seasonings of choice, peppers, sugar and salt. Taste and adjust.
Let simmer. The longer the better. This sauce can be ready to serve as soon as heated through, however if I have the time, I like to let it sit for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally.
Just a few minutes before serving, add in mushrooms and some parsley. Stir, let cook a few minutes until 'shrooms are tender. Garnish with more parsley and serve over hot pasta.
