EASY MAKE-AHEAD PASTA SAUCE
This rich and meaty pasta sauce is a keeper for a few reasons: It's easy enough for a Tuesday night but has cooked-all-day flavor, it can be made ahead and frozen, and it makes enough for several meals. Whip up a batch, and use it in whatever Italian dish you're craving, from spaghetti to lasagna!
