Ingredients

For the Meat Sauce

1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened.

2. Add the ground beef and pork and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon. If you do not like pork or beef, you can replace it with chicken or mutton.

3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine (if using), basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

4. Simmer the sauce on low heat for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.
