Instructions

1
To begin, prepare the following ingredients. Finely dice the onion; wash, peel, and finely dice the carrot. If you have a food chopper or processor you can use this.
2
Add the oil to a pan along with the ingredients you have just prepared and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
After these 10 minutes, raise the heat and add the ground meat. Make sure you break it up well in the pot using a spoon. Add salt and pepper to your liking. Mix and when you see that the meat is no longer red, or that it has begun to cook, lower the heat.
4
Add the tomato, and add more salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for 30-40 more minutes until the sauce thickens.

Tips & Tricks

We recommend that the ground meat is half beef (about 1/2 pound) and half pork (about 1/2 pound).

You can add ground cloves and ground nutmeg to the sauce to give it better flavor. Add it when you add the tomato to the pot.|If you made too much sauce, it's okay, you can freeze it and save it for another meal (once it's cold).

You can find other pasta recipes with ground meat under the "Pastas" category in our recipe Explorer.
