Bob's Pasta Sauce

---

This pasta sauce has always been a favorite when i serve it at home or at parties. The spice amounts are not precise, since i don't measure. I strongly recommend tasting and adjusting the spices during the simmering process. As always, when i use mushrooms, i try to use a variety, but it isn't necessary to do so. I sometimes like to add a cup of frozen baby peas towards the end of the cooking.
