10 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 0.25 cup chopped celery
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 40 ounces Italian-style stewed tomatoes
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms, or to taste
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
  • 0.25 cup parsley
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking soda, or to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beef and cook, stirring to break into small chunks, until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Stir stewed tomatoes and tomato paste with beef mixture until smooth; add mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, sugar, nutmeg, oregano, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is flavorful, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir baking soda into the sauce. Continue cooking until you can taste a reduction in acidity of the sauce, about 10 minutes more.
