Meat Sauce
I love a good meat sauce with some fresh pappardelle and a little grated parmigiano to top it all off. It’s a classic Sunday dinner that will certainly not disappoint even the pickiest of eaters!
Ingredients
1 28oz can of whole peeled tomatoes or passata
1 pound pappardelle
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1 teaspoon dried or fresh rosemary
1 pound ground meat (I use a mix of veal, pork and beef)
1/2 cup red wine
salt to taste
a handful of fresh basil
Direction
In a large pot or dutch oven, add olive oil, garlic and rosemary
Sauté for 7-8 minutes
Next, add your ground meat mix, break it up with a potato masher or wooden spoon and cook until brown
Add the red white and cook on high heat until the wine reduces by about half
Next, add the tomato sauce and the fresh basil
Cook on low heat for about an hour. The longer it cooks the more flavorful it will be!
Put a large pot of water on to boil and cook your pasta according to package instructions
Drain the pasta and mix it in with the sauce
Top with some grated parmigiano and enjoy!
