  Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over

  pasta and cook until tender, about 7-9 minutes. Drain
  pasta, reserving 1 1/2 cups of pasta water. Set noodles
  aside.
  
  Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add
  onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until
  onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add sausage
  (or ground beef if you must) and cook until meat is
  cooked through and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.
  
  Stir in the basil, oregano and mushrooms, cooking just
  until spices are aromatic, about 1 minute. Add marinara
  sauce and simmer sauce until it thickens, 10-15 minutes.
  
  Add reserved pasta water and simmer for another 10-15
  minutes until sauce thickens again. Stir in cheese and
  simmer an additional 3-5 minutes. Season sauce to taste
  with salt and pepper and serve over cooked spaghetti
  noodles.
  
  Makes 6 to 8 servings
