Pasta with Tomato Meat Sauce
Some call it sauce, others call it gravy -- and everyone loves it! If you can't find nice ripe tomatoes at the market, feel free to use a 28-ounce can of your favorite brand of plum tomatoes.
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
* 1 pound uncooked pasta
* 8 ounces lean ground beef
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 6 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon oregano
* 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
* 1/2 teaspoon sugar
* 1/4 cup red wine
Directions:
Prepare the pasta according to the package directions.
While the pasta is cooking, combine the beef, onion and garlic in a large skillet; cook until the meat is no longer pink. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients; process for 30 seconds.
Add the tomato mixture to the meat; simmer about 20 minutes.
When the pasta is done, drain well. Add the sauce to the pasta and serve.
