- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil

- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground pork and beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- If using red wine, pour it into the pot and stir to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain the spaghetti and set it aside.
- When the sauce is finished simmering, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the sauce over the spaghetti, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- If you want a chunkier sauce, use diced tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes.
- If you don't have red wine, you can use beef broth or water instead.
- If you want a spicier sauce, add more red pepper flakes or use hot Italian sausage instead of ground pork and beef.
- You can make this recipe ahead of time and freeze it for later. Just let the sauce cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
