Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound 85% ground beef
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 2 28 ounce cans tomato puree
  • ½ cup white wine, I use Pinot Grigio
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of sugar

Instructions
 

  • Heat a Dutch oven or pot to medium and add in the ground Italian sausage and ground beef.
  • Sauté until browned, then make a well in the center and add in the garlic.
  • Sauté for 15 seconds, making sure not to brown it, then pour in the white wine. If you don’t want to use white wine, you can substitute with chicken broth. Scrape up any brown bits of flavor.
  • Pour in the tomato puree, then add the water to the cans, swooshing around to grab any remaining tomato, then pour into your pot.
  • Add in the fresh basil, parsley, salt, pepper and (optional) sugar. Simmer on medium low for 1 hour with an offset lid.
  • 10 minutes before your sauce is ready, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add in a healthy pinch of salt and cook your spaghetti until almost cooked through.
  • Drain, but do not rinse, your spaghetti, then pour it into the sauce and toss to combine. Continue to simmer the sauce until the spaghetti is cooked to al dente and serve.
