Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork and Beef

    Add the ground Kaunamano pork and island beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Marinara

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it reduces slightly. Stir in the marinara sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pasta

    While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh shell pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the sauce is ready, stir in the chopped basil and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the sauce over the cooked shell pasta and garnish with additional basil if desired.
