Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 slices bacon, diced
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the bacon in the oil until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the onion, celery, carrot, and oregano into the bacon; continue cooking until the vegetables begin to soften, another 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Crumble the ground beef into the vegetable mixture; cook and stir until the beef is completely cooked and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour the balsamic vinegar over the ground beef mixture; allow to simmer until the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar into the ground beef mixture; bring the mixture to a boil, season with salt and black pepper, and remove from heat. Stir the fresh basil into the mixture.
  • Ladle the sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Italian-style dried breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
8 cloves garlic, half grated or minced, the other half sliced
1/4 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano, plus more for garnish
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
Two 26.5-ounce boxes strained tomatoes, such as Pomi
4 fresh basil leaves, torn, plus torn leaves for garnish
2 pounds spaghetti

Steps:

  • Combine the beef, pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, grated garlic, Pecorino Romano, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Using your hands, thoroughly mix the ingredients together until evenly incorporated. Roll into meatballs slightly larger than golf balls, setting them on baking sheets as you work.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven until it shimmers. Working in batches and taking care not to crowd the pan, saute the meatballs, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer from the pan back to the baking sheet.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the onion to the pan, and saute, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the sliced garlic, stir, and cook 1 minute more. Add the wine, increase the heat, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 4 of the basil leaves, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and the meatballs along with any accumulated juices. Simmer, partially covered, until the flavors come together, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in two batches in boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain and serve with the meatballs and sauce ladled on top. Garnish with torn basil and freshly grated Pecorino-Romano.
