Four Spinning Squares Blocks

Easy Bolognese

1 pound sweet Italian bulk sausage

1/4 cup olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped

1 carrot, coarsely chopped

2 cups sliced mushrooms

1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

8 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, onion, and garlic. Saute until onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Add celery and carrot and saute 5 more minutes. Add mushrooms, tomatoes, parsley and basil. Cover and cook over low heat until the sauce thickens – about half an hour. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over cooked spaghetti or spaghetti squash, topped with grated Parmesan.
