Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, and carrot. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and pork sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 5

    Deglaze with Red Wine

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Tomato Sauce and Seasonings

    Stir in the tomato sauce, bay leaves, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

  5. 7

    Combine with Pasta

    Remove the bay leaves and mix the cooked pasta into the meat sauce, ensuring the pasta is well-coated.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
