My go-to sauce for any kind of pasta, from lasagna to spaghetti and beyond. This homemade meat sauce is easy, hearty, and super meaty! I use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage for the most amazing flavor.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb Italian sausage, ground
1 lb grass fed ground beef, (85/15)
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
6 oz organic baby Bella mushrooms, chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced
1 can Italian crushed tomatoes
6 oz organic tomato paste
1 jar of Raos Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/3 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
Step 1
Sauté garlic and onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, roughly 5-7 minutes. Add in chopped mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until mushrooms soften. Transfer to a separate bowl and set aside.
Step 2
In same pot, add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with ground sausage and ground beef. Cook until you see only a little pink in the meat. Add the veggies back and stir to combine.
Step 3
Add in tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Sauté for roughly 3 minutes until thoroughly combined. Then add all remaining ingredients, including seasonings.
Step 4
Cook on low for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve over your pasta of choice! Enjoy!
