Allison's World Famous Spaghetti

World Famous?  Surely that can't be, you scoff!  Why, yes it is true, I reply.  And don't call me Shirley.

Okay, okay.  Maybe, just maybe, "World Famous" is a bit of a stretch.  But it is true that I served this to people when I lived in England, and they all loved it.  Well, except for my ex-mother-in-law, who was a drunk and accused me of putting "little green trees" into the sauce.  For what it's worth, she was talking about the oregano. 

So, on with Allison's Somewhat-Recognizable-And-Enjoyed-By-A-Few-People-Here-And-In-The-UK Spaghetti....

You will need:

• Ground Beef - depends on how meaty you like your sauce.  This is just under 2 pounds.
• Big can (29 oz, I think) Tomato Sauce
• Big can Crushed Tomatoes
• 12 oz can of Tomato Paste
• Onion - chopped
• Mushrooms - sliced
• Minced garlic
• Oregano
• Basil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Crushed red pepper flakes

And away we go...

1.  Put your beef, mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a large pot and brown on medium heat until meat is no longer pink.

2.  Drain the grease.

3.  In your large pot, add your meat, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste.  Stir.

4.  Add your spices.  As much or as little as you like.  

5.  Mix well and add in some water (half a can or so).

6.  Bring to boil and then reduce heat.  Simmer on low-medium for at least an hour, preferably longer.
7.  Serve over pasta of your choice.

I hope you enjoy this!  And trust me - the "little green trees" are delicious!
