My picky-picky wife is a "meat likewise potatoes" human existence through likewise through. If a repast doesn't center around meat.....well, he doesn't telephone ring it a very meal.
That's why I came upwards with this "Meat-less Spaghetti" (for myself) to counter hubby's "steak night". It is amount COMFORT FOOD !!!
1/4 loving loving cup olive oil
1 medium sweetness onion (chopped)
(2) 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes (Italian style)

Saute chopped onion inwards the olive unsmooth crude oil until they aspect sort of transparent likewise odor "sweet-ish". Put cooked onions (don't drain) inwards a large Crockpot (I intend mine is a vii quart size?). Add the diced Italian trend tomatoes, garlic powder, cayenne, basil, kosher salt, black pepper likewise sugar; mix well. Cook on high for virtually 3 hours.
After 3 hours, gain exercise clean the mushrooms likewise convey the stems off. Chop the stems inwards the food processor likewise champaign the mushroom caps (nice likewise thick), likewise thence topographic point them inwards the sauce to laid upwards for virtually 30 minutes.

NOTE: Remember, kosher tabular array common salt measures differently than tabular array tabular array common salt because the tiny grains (in tabular array salt) pack together much closer. The mensuration inwards this recipe is for kosher salt. If you solitary have got tabular array salt......use less.
NOTE: Cayenne pepper is pretty spicy. I have got measurement spoons that decease downwards to 1/16th of a teaspoon, thence that's what I use......it is basically a "pinch" of cayenne. You can substitute 1/4 teaspoon cherry pepper flakes for the cayenne.
NOTE: Make certainly you solitary boil the spaghetti noodles half way. This is an of import step since they choice upwards a ton of flavor from the sauce as they laid upwards the remainder of the means inwards the Crockpot.
NOTE: You testament have got to cutting this recipe inwards half if you solitary have got a small-scale Crockpot.
