Zutaten

1 lb Ground beef (I prefer 85% lean ground beef.)

28 ounces San Marzano tomatoes crushed

1/2 medium yellow onion diced very fine

2 cloves garlic diced very fine

1 1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

2 fresh basil leaves

1/8 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)

sugar (optional: a pinch at a time if your sauce tastes too acidic)

Anweisungen

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat.

Add your olive oil.

Now add your red pepper flakes, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove onions from pot on to a plate and set aside.

In the same pot, add your ground beef and brown on all sides making sure to break up the meat as much as possible while it cooks (about 5 minutes).

Add the onions back to the pot and mix in to the ground beef.

Now add your garlic and cook for one more minute.

Add your tomatoes to the pot.

Add your salt, oregano and basil and stir.

Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

Taste the sauce for any additional salt.

Serve with your favorite pasta and enjoy!
