Diane's Pasta Sauce
Diane'S Pasta Sauce is an impressive dinner. Made with 1/8 to 1/4 lb. lean (96% fat-free) ground beef, 1 small onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 small green pepper, chopped and 1/8 tsp. nutmeg, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. Bursting with flavor in every bite.
π Recipe adapted from RecipeNLG-Full
In a large Dutch oven, put beef, onion, garlic and green pepper; saute on medium heat until beef is done.
Add nutmeg, oregano and basil; cook 2 minutes.
Add the canned tomatoes and the next 7 ingredients; simmer for about 20 minutes.
Add tomato paste to thicken sauce; taste to see if any salt and pepper are needed.
Simmer another 10 minutes or so; taste again for any seasoning adjustments.
If a little bitter, you can add more sugar or squeeze a little orange juice into the sauce.
Surprisingly, this mellows the flavors.
Serves 8 with 1 pound of pasta (ziti, spirals or shells).
