Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 2 links Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cups dry red wine
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, and Italian sausage to the pot. Cook for 7-8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly and deepen in flavor.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine. Stir to combine.
Add the oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Mix well.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and the flavors should meld together beautifully.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve the Carnivoro Pasta Sauce over cooked pasta of your choice. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
