PASTA WITH MEAT SAUCE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons oil (I'm using olive oil)
2 pounds ground meat of your choice, such as beef, pork, turkey, chicken, lamb (I'm using beef)
1 onion, diced (I'm using yellow onion)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
3/4 cup liquid of your choice, such as beef stock, chicken stock, water or wine (I'm using red wine)
One 28-ounce can tomato product (I'm using crushed tomatoes)
2 tablespoons oregano (if you have it)
Salt and pepper
1 pound dry pasta (I'm using rigatoni)
3 tablespoons grated hard cheese (I'm using Parmesan)

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the meat and cook, without stirring, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon, then add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the crushed tomatoes and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened and the flavors come together, about 1 hour.
  • About 20 minutes before the sauce is done, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Drop in the pasta, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Remove from the heat, toss in the cheese and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Spaghetti is the classic choice for meat sauce, but you can also use other long pastas like linguine or fettuccine. If you prefer a shorter pasta, penne or rigatoni are good options.
  • Brown the meat well: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the sauce from being greasy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the sauce. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to taste.
  • Serve the sauce over pasta with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese: This is the classic way to serve spaghetti and meatballs, but you can also use other toppings like grated mozzarella cheese, crumbled sausage, or chopped basil.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti and meatballs is a classic Italian-American dish that is loved by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, but it is also very flavorful and satisfying. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious spaghetti and meat sauce that your family and friends will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
