Method

Meat Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef and ground pork to the pot. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. If using red wine, add it now. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low, cover the pot partially, and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For deeper flavor, simmer for up to 1 hour.

Optional Add-Ins Preparation

  1. 5

    Incorporate Optional Vegetables

    If using, add the sliced mushrooms, diced zucchini, and diced bell pepper to the sauce during the last 15 minutes of simmering. Stir well and let them cook until tender.
