  • 2 Roma Tomatoes (Washed & Diced)
  • 1 Small White Onion (Peeled & Diced)
  • 4 Garlic Cloves (Adjust for Preference)
  • 1/2 Cup White Wine (I use Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 680 mL Tomato Sauce
  • 150 mL Garlic Tomato Paste
  • 1.5 TSP Dried Oregano
  • 1.5 TSP Fennel Seeds
  • 1 Handful Freshly Grated Parmigiana-Reggiano
  • 4 Fresh Basil Leaf Rolled and Sliced
  • Kosher Salt To Taste
  • Freshly Grated Peppercorn To Taste

Method
 

  1. Place ground hot italian sausage and lean ground beef together into a pan. Saute over medium heat until cooked throughout. Strain excess grease.
  2. Place diced onion and minced garlic into pan. Saute for about 3 minutes, until slightly translucent. Add meat back to your pan.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine. Stir continuously.
  4. Add in tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced fresh tomato. Stir.
  5. Add kosher salt, cracked peppercorn, a handful of freshly grated Parmigiana-Reggiano, fennel seeds, oregano, and fresh basil. Stir.
  6. Reduce your heat to low. Place a lid over your pot, and allow your sauce to simmer.
  7. Stir every 30-40 minutes.
  8. About 20 minutes before you are ready to eat, boil a pot of salted water. Add homemade or store-bought spaghetti to the salted water. Strain, and toss in meat sauce.
  9. Serve, garnished with fresh basil, freshly grated Parmigiana-Reggiano, and coarsly ground peppercorn.
