Here's a couple of yummy ones and the sites for more ideas:
Pasta with Tomato-Mushroom Sauce
1 pound penne
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup dry red wine
4 cups torn escarole (optional)
3/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley and oregano)
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan
Cook the penne according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper and cook, covered, until the onions are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook, covered, for 6 minutes more. Add the wine and cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Stir in the escarole (if using) and chopped herbs, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and cook for 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and heat through. Stir in the basil.
Transfer the pasta to plates, spoon the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the cheese.
Tip: Although Parmesan and Pecorino Romano are often used interchangeably, they're quite different. If you prefer a richer, more buttery flavor, use Parmesan; for a saltier, sharper bite, try Pecorino Romano.
Yield: Makes 4 servings

Preparation - Easy
Serves 4
A very simple meat sauce adapted from the delightful 'The Tuscan Year' by Elizabeth Romer. The sauce will be richer if you use a mixture of meats.
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 cup celery with leaves, chopped
3 sprigs of Italian parsley
6 oz ground beef, pork or veal, mixed with some chopped bacon or pancetta; or 6 oz Italian sausages split open
VARIATION: you can also substitute mushrooms for meat in this recipe.
2/3 to 1 1/2 cups conserva or tomato puree, or fresh tomatoes skinned and chopped, or canned plum tomatoes
2 T extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb spaghetti or any pasta
CHOP the onion, celery, carrot and parsley finely.
IN a frying pan on medium heat, heat up the two tablespoons of olive oil, add the chopped ingredients and allow them to soften.
ADD the meat, mix everything together and cook over a gentle flame until the meat has changed colour. Add the tomato conserva or ripe, diced tomatoes. Less tomato lets the meat flavor come through strongly; more tomato gives a more 'blended taste'
SIMMER gently for half an hour and season to taste with salt and black pepper. If the mixture is too dry add a little more olive oil or tomato. Never add water.
COOK the pasta, drain, pour into warm bowl. Add the meat sauce, stir, and serve. Parmesan cheese is optional.
VARIATION: You can make this sauce substituting mushrooms for the meat: about 6 oz fresh mushrooms or 1 oz of dried porcini mushrooms (soaked for 1 hour). Both these sauces are excellent with pasta and polenta and delicious in lasagne.

First of all, you don't have to make it from scratch. Here's the ingredients:
A jar of "store bought" basic marinara sauce(the basic,inexpensive, generic type).
one ounce Italian cured meat, like Panccetta (if you can't find panccetta, you can use bacon or salty pork), small cube it.
one large onion, finely chopped
half small box of mushroom, sliced
one med. carrot, finely chopped
one celery, finely chopped.
bay leaves, parsley stem, garlic, pepper corns (wrap them all together in cheese cloth, and tied it)
1 small can of chicken stock
1 glass of red wine
1cup or shredded Parmesans cheese
1) in a sauce pot, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil, and cook panchetta, and cook it until it turns brown.
2)add chopped onion, and sprinkle some kosher salt and black pepper.
3)Add Mushroom, then follow by carrot and celery.
4)Let the whole thing cook for about 5 to 10 min. Add Chicken stock and red wine and the jar of marinara sauce.
5)add remaining ingredients which are already wrapped in cheese cloth.
Let the whole thing cook for more then 1 hour. Add the cheese to it, and let it cook for about 30 min. Let it reduce to the consistency that you like. You can add more red wine or chicken stock to adjust the consistency.
Before you serve it, sprinkle minced fresh basil to bring out the flavor.

HOMEMADE ALFREDO SAUCE

In a medium skillet melt about 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute until tender. Set aside. In a medium saucepan melt one stick of butter over medium heat. When butter is melted add one pint of heavy cream. Bring up to a simmer and add mushrooms. Slowly add one cup of shredded Parmesan Cheese stirring constantly. Turn off heat. Stir until cheese is melted and well blended into cream and butter mixture.
