Mediterranean Spaghetti with Hearty Meat Sauce
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef or lamb
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup red wine
1 cup vegetable broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 pound spaghetti
Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh basil, for garnish
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions:
Cook the Meat:
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add ground beef or lamb and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Sauté Aromatics:
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using), and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Prepare the Sauce:
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, red wine, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Simmer the Sauce:
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Cook the Spaghetti:
While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Combine and Serve:
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the hearty meat sauce until well coated.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
