- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
- 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 (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, or to taste
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute 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 the 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.
