Best Spaghetti Sauce

lb. Italian sausage,

beef

onions, diced

garlic,

tomato sauce

tomato paste

dry red wine

sugar ((or start with 2 tablespoons for a less-sweet sauce))

Italian seasoning

cayenne pepper

For serving: cooked spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley or basil

In a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, cook sausage and ground beef over medium heat for 6 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break apart the meat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the meat is no longer pink, about 4 more minutes. Drain off the fat.

Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, red wine, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 2 ½ - 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, or sugar, if necessary.

Serve over cooked spaghetti; garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.

We&#8217;ve made this easy spaghetti meat sauce countless times and are always happy that we did. The sauce starts with a base of ground meat. We love keeping the sauce on the leaner side and use ground turkey, but any ground meat like beef, pork, chicken, and lamb will work.
