Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground pepper
• 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
• 2 cans (15 oz each) tomato sauce
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
• Parmesan cheese, for topping

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

   • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, dried oregano, dried basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
   • Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and the onions are translucent.

2. Add Tomato Products:

   • Once the beef is browned, add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes to the pot.
   • Stir well to combine all ingredients.

3. Simmer:

   • Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat.
   • Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
   • Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

4. Prepare Spaghetti:

   • While the sauce is simmering, cook your spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
   • Drain the spaghetti and set aside.

5. Sautee Mushrooms:

   • In a separate skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Serve:

   • To serve, spoon the spaghetti onto plates or into bowls.
   • Ladle the homemade spaghetti sauce generously over the spaghetti.
   • Top each serving with a spoonful of sautéed mushrooms.
   • Finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
