Ground Beef Pasta Sauce

Rich, hearty, and packed with flavor—this homemade pasta sauce recipe would make a Nonna proud. A beefy sauce that is slow-simmered for a rich, savory taste. Serve it over pasta or bake it into lasagna.

Ingredients :
  • 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 28 ounces canned whole tomatoes or canned diced tomatoes*, 1 can
  • 28 ounces canned tomato sauce
  • 1 large green bell pepper diced, or red bell pepper
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 teaspoons ground sage
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
Directions :
  1. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with sage, fennel seeds, thyme, pepper, and allspice until well mixed.
  2. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef mixture, onion, and garlic, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Cook until browned, drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add the canned tomatoes with the liquid, tomato sauce, green bell pepper, water, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, sugar, and salt to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
  5. Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped parsley and basil.
  6. Remove bay leaves, taste and season with additional salt and pepper. Serve over hot pasta.
