This is a thick, hearty sauce, serve it with a pasta that can stand up to it! The longer it simmers the better the flavor will be. While this sauce is good served immediately after cooking, refrigerating it for a day or two before serving makes it even better. Ingredients:
1/2 lb hot italian sausage |
1 lb lean ground beef |
1 large onion, chopped |
6 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon dried basil |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
12 ounces tomato paste |
56 ounces diced tomatoes with juice |
1 cup dry red wine |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, brown sausage, ground beef, garlic, basil, and oregano until meats are no longer pink.
2. Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, wine, sugar, salt, and pepper until thoroughly mixed.
3. Cover and simmer over very low heat for at least 2 hours (I usually go 3 - 4 hours or more).
