Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 medium yellow onion, diced small; Salt and pepper, to taste; 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed; 1 pound quartered cremini mushrooms; 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/3 cup dry white wine; Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. 2. Add the quartered mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 7-10 minutes. 3. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Pour in the dry white wine, stirring to deglaze the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes. 4. Add the pureed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. 5. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. 6. Serve the mushroom sauce over your favorite pasta, grains, or as a topping for vegetables.
