- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 medium carrot chopped
- 1 stalk celery chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tbsp fresh oregano chopped
- ½ cup red wine
- 2 cups beef broth low sodium or no sodium added
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 1 pound fettuccine uncooked, or pasta of your choice
- 4 cups vegetable broth low sodium
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, for garnish
- Parmesan cheese grated, for serving
Add the ground beef to a large saucepan or a Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Add the onion, carrot, celery to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the vegetables soften.
Add the minced garlic, oregano, red wine, beef broth, crushed tomatoes and stir. Season with salt and pepper as necessary.
Add the fettuccine or spaghetti, the vegetable broth and cook for about 20 minutes or until the pasta is al dente or to your liking. Make sure to stir occasionally.
Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese, and serve.
- Use fresh herbs if possible for the best flavor. Fresh oregano and parsley add a bright, vibrant note to the dish.
- Stir the pasta occasionally while it cooks in the sauce to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- If the sauce gets too thick, add a little more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Feel free to swap the fettuccine with any pasta you have on hand. Cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on it.
- For a deeper flavor, let the red wine cook off for a minute before adding the broth and tomatoes.
