Instructions
Using a food processor, pulse the mushrooms until they resemble a ground meat consistency.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add meat and mushrooms and brown 5-6 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add sauce, bay leaves, and wine. Stir, and allow to simmer uncovered on medium-low heat at least two hours (can go longer, as it will result in a richer sauce!).
Serve immediately.
Leftovers can be stored in a covered, air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for 4-6 months.
