Make your marina sauce. Start with a miripoix[minced onion, celery, and
carrot]. Sauté gently until the miripoix is soft. Add can of minced tomato,
and very slowly simmer, until desired thickness is reached. Separately mince
mushrooms and sauté in olive oil until mushrooms are slightly brown. Add
mushrooms to pasta sauce. I think I'd start with a cup to a cup and half of
minced mushrooms to one 28oz can of minced tomatoes and go from there. Since
you're adding the sautéed mushrooms at the end you can do it to your
preference.
