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.
