Ingredients

Before we start, here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork for extra richness)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (28 oz / 800 g) crushed tomatoes
• 1 can (6 oz / 170 g) tomato paste
• 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for mild heat)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish
• 1 lb (450 g) spaghetti noodles

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Start by chopping your onion and mincing the garlic. Having all ingredients ready will make cooking smoother and prevent burning the garlic.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Meat

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon.
3. Once browned, remove excess fat if necessary to prevent a greasy sauce.

Tip: Browning the meat properly adds depth and richness to your sauce.

Step 3: Sauté the Aromatics

1. Add the chopped onions to the browned meat and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic—it can turn bitter.
