Step 1

Start by finely dicing your onion, green bell pepper and 6 garlic cloves

Step 2

To a pot we are going to brown our 1 pound of ground beef, half a pound of mild ground pork and half a pound of homestyle ground pork. About 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Once our meat is fully browned, we are going to add in our diced vegetables. Sauté for another 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, one teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and one teaspoon of chili flakes. 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Step 5

add your favorite dry red wine (one cup) and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste

Step 6

Once our meat is fully cooked, we are going to add in our 24 ounce can of crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes, 14 ounce can of tomato sauce

Step 7

For extra flavor we are going to season with a teaspoon of onion powder, garlic powder, and to cut down on the acidity one big tablespoon of sugar

Step 8

Top with three basil leaves

Step 9

Cover and let simmer on medium low for 30 minutes to combine all the flavors

Step 10

The tomato sauce is ready now for our pasta. I used 1 pound of spaghetti pasta and cook to al dente about nine minutes.

Step 11

Optional, I topped my spaghetti with freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Step 12

Serve and enjoy!
