Ingredients
Directions
In a large stockpot, brown the sausage and beef, breaking it up as you stir. When the meat is mostly browned through, add the chopped onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onions start to get translucent. (If you have a fattier meat, drain any extra grease.)
Add the garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water. Then stir in the basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. If I want a bit of heat, I’ll add a 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder too.
Stir well and bring to a low simmer. Mix in the red wine. Continue to simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
Cook your pasta according to package directions.
Spoon sauce over drained pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve with homemade garlic bread (recipe coming soon).
