Meaty Pasta Sauce

Author: Julie

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage no sugar added
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 6 oz tomatoes paste
  • 2 Tbsp dried parsley
  • 1 Tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by browning the beef and Italian sausage over medium heat (about 4 minutes).
  • Throw out most of the fat released by the meat.
  • Add the garlic, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and paste. Mix well.
  • Add the spices and mix well (again).

Notes

Let it simmer on low heat covered for up to 2 hours stirring every once in a while.
Make sure the Italian sausage doesn't have added sugar. You can also use plain ground pork. If you don't have diced tomatoes, crushed or whole canned work too!
