Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Brown Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Chianti red wine, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the meat sauce. Toss to combine and heat through. Serve with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves on top.
