2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes and ground beef, and use a flavorful stock or broth.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef gives it a richer flavor and helps to develop the sauce's depth of flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan, and cook the beef in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: This sauce is great with spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta. You can also use it on pizza or as a dipping sauce for bread.

Conclusion:

This 15-minute meat sauce is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and flavorful meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a hearty and satisfying pasta dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're short on time, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
