Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 1-2 medium carrots diced
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic roughly 4 cloves
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 cup red wine
- 8 ounces macaroni noodles cooked al dente
- Salt and pepper to season
- Parsley and Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta "al dente" in salted water. Drain and set aside.
- In a large dutch oven, brown ground beef over medium heat, drain fat if desired.
- Once you have browned the meat, add the onion, carrot, celery, bell pepper, and spices until soft.
- Add crushed tomatoes, paste, and wine.
- Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Toss in the pasta and stir to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Tomato toss up - Substitute tomato sauce or diced tomatoes for crushed tomatoes. You can even use tomato puree.
- Best pasta shapes - Elbow macaroni works, but mini shells, cavatappi, or rotini with nooks and crannies hold sauce better.
- Season smart - Substitute Italian seasoning for individual spices. Add bay leaves if you have them for extra flavor. Just take them out before serving.
