Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion (finely chopped)
3 carrots (peeled, chopped)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork ((optional))
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes ((fresh peeled and diced tomatoes or canned San Marzano tomatoes))
6 fresh basil leaves (chopped (or 1-2 tsp. dried basil))
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
beef broth ((if needed, to taste))
1 pound spaghetti noodles

Steps:

  • Heat oil on medium heat in a large, deep skillet. Add onion, carrots, and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add ground beef and pork and continue to cook.
  • When meat is browned and onions are soft, add tomatoes.
  • When tomatoes have softened and have started to release their juices (about 4-5 min) add basil, sugar, salt and pepper (if you are whole tomatoes, mash the them with a potato masher or spatula to release all their juices).
  • Simmer for at least 3 hours (and up to 6 hours), stirring occasionally. The longer you simmer, the better. Important: tomatoes burn easily so keep an eye on them and add beef broth a little at a time to thin sauce if needed.
  • In a large pot, cook spaghetti in salted water to al dente, drain completely and return to pot. Add sauce to the spaghetti noodles and toss until noodles are covered.
  • Serve immediately.
