Sugo di Carne Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery (the 'soffritto') and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Meats

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then, add the ground beef and ground pork, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a few minutes, scrapping the bottom of the pot to incorporate any browned bits.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, allowing the sauce to simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Finish with Herbs

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Sugo di Carne over pasta and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
