Spaghetti sauce (with wine)

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1poundsGround Beef
1Onion -- chopped
2To 3 Cloves Garlic -- minced
215-Oz Cans Tomato Sauce
26-Oz Cans Tomato Paste
1tablespoonItalian Seasoning -- or
More
1dashGround Oregano
½teaspoonSalt
¼teaspoonBlack Pepper
1Or 2 Glugs White Wine

Directions

Brown the beef and onion in a huge skillet. Add the garlic when the beef is almost done. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste and all the seasonings. Simmer over low heat while you cook the pasta. Like I said, about 15 minutes before you're ready to serve, stir the wine into the sauce.

I've never found it necessary to let spaghetti sauce cook for hours and hours. I don't have the time or the patience, and I like my spaghetti sauce better than anything canned/jarred, or ordered in a restaurant. It's got a richer taste, what with the amount of tomato paste I use. Sometimes I use a can of stewed tomatoes in place of one of the tomato sauces, but that's about the only variation I ever make.
