Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated carrot
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 8 oz. sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 lb. fresh pasta, such as fettuccine
- 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
- 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Grana Padano cheese
Directions
-
Put a large pot of water on to boil.
-
Meanwhile, heat oil in another large pot over high heat. Add carrot and onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add beef and sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon and reducing the heat if it starts to stick to the pan, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and garlic; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until it’s mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, pepper and salt. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
-
Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking, until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the water. Drain the pasta.
-
Add the pasta, basil, and parsley to the sauce. Add enough of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce to your liking. Serve topped with cheese and more parsley.
