30 minutes total
Ingredients
  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley (optional)
  • 2 oz Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 lb bucatini (or linguini) pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • ¼ cup dry red wine (or beef broth)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
Steps
  1. Bring water to a boil for pasta. Chop onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and parsley (if using) finely. Grate cheese, if using (¼ cup).
  2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan; add onions, garlic, celery, and carrots. Cook and stir 3–4 minutes until tender.
  3. Cook pasta following package instructions; drain. Meanwhile, add beef to onion mixture; brown 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, until no pink remains and beef is 160°F.
  4. Reduce heat to low; add tomatoes, wine, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to pan. Simmer 5–6 minutes until sauce thickens. Top pasta with sauce; serve with cheese and parsley.
