I apologize for the potato quality. Older video that I just got around to uploading and I think the stabilization on the camera was on light instead of normal.
Here's a quick and easy meat sauce that uses Italian sausage and ground beef for tons of flavor in minimal time. Think of it as the simplified version of a ragú Bolognese, which you can find here: www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, or a mix of Italian sausage and other ground meat
1 small onion, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
2 ribs celery, finely diced (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry red or white wine
1 (15.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, canned whole peeled tomatoes crushed by hand, or a pound of fresh Roma or beefsteak tomatoes, split in half and grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 cup milk
Parmesan rinds (optional)
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan or saucier over medium heat until shimmering. Add meat and cook, breaking it up with a pastry cutter or wooden spoon until it is lightly browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
2. Add onions, carrot, and celery (if using), and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, milk, and Parmesan rinds, bring to a boil, reduce to a bare simmer, and cook until reduced to a thick, rich sauce, about 1 hour.
