Ok guys, this is easy and will be sure to impress that certain someone.
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
One pound of ground beef
One onion
One red bell pepper
One large bulb of garlic
One can of tomato paste
One cup of drinkable red wine
Dried herbs of basil, oregano, and thyme
Brown the beef in a sauce pan with a little olive oil salt and pepper. Set to the side.
Dice the onion and bell pepper and sauté till translucent, then add a little salt and pepper.
Then add that to the veggies, with a sprinkle of basil, oregano and thyme.
In a large pot, add your beef and veggies. Add the crushed tomatoes and the whole can of tomatoes paste. Bring it to a low simmer and cover the pot.
Here’s the kicker: Take the whole garlic bulb and remove the skin from all the cloves by gently hitting them with the top of your chef’s knife. Then cut each clove length wise until you have a bunch of little diced garlic goodies. In a sauté pan with a half cup of olive oil, gently sauté the raw garlic until they become a light golden brown. Do not over-cook the cloves. They will become bitter and your lady friends will have to spank you.
Once the cloves are beautiful, dump the garlic and oil into your sauce. Add the cup of wine. Let it simmer for a couple of hours. Adjust the seasoning (salt, pepper). Pour over your favorite pasta. Relish the response.
