Faster, Better, Spaghetti & Meat Sauce

Step 1: Brown the meat & aromatics

  • Meat & aromatics

    • 80/20 ground beef
      450 g1 lb
    • hot italian sausages
      225 g2 links
    • onions
      200 g1
    • garlic
      , minced
      4 cloves
    • salt
      , a sprinkle

Heat a dutch oven or large heavy bottomed pot over medium high. Add a bit of oil, the ground beef, and sausage, breaking the meat apart into small pieces as it cooks - I use a meat smasher for this.

When the meat begins to and is well broken down, stir in the onion, garlic, and a sprinkle of salt, making sure to scrape up any meat fond stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cover and for 5 minutes.

Now is a good time to preheat your oven to 425°F/220°C.
