What You Will Need

saute pan or saucier

spatula/wooden spoon

measuring cups

Ingredients

2-4 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 yellow onion, chopped

2-4 garlic cloves, minced or crushed

1 lb organic ground beef

1 can tomoato sauce

6 oz tomato paste

1/2 Tbsp italian seasoning

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/2-1 cup water (can omit if you want it less liquidy)

1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

fresh basil, for serving

How to Make

Step One: Heat oil in sauce pan on medium heat

Step Two: Once hot, add onion and garlic, cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. I tend to add the onion first and then the garlic a few minutes later so it doesn’t burn.

Step Three: With the onion and garlic still in pan add the beef. Brown the beef and drain the excess grease. I like to cook meat low and slow and I leave the beef slightly pink, so take your time with this, it’ll make it nice and juicy!

Step Four: Add in all other ingredients, bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Simmer and let sit for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Step Five: Serve hot over cooked noodles or turn into another dish, like lasagna, lasagna soup, sauce for meatballs. Enjoy!
