Cooking Instructions

1. Sauté Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

2. Brown the Beef

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.

3. Add Garlic and Tomatoes

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then, add the diced ripe tomatoes to the skillet.

4. Season the Sauce

Sprinkle in the oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Stir to combine.

5. Simmer

Pour in the water or broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and flavors are well combined.

6. Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the rich meat sauce over your favorite pasta or use it as a base for other dishes.
