  • Main Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧅 1 large onion, minced
    • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 pound lean ground beef
    • ½ pound ground pork
    • 🍅 1 (28 ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes
    • 🍄 ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
    • 🍅 6 ounces tomato sauce
    • 🥕 2 carrots, shredded

STEPS

1

Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, bacon, and garlic in hot oil until bacon is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.

2

Place the same large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and pork in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

3

Stir bacon mixture, tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato sauce, carrots, celery, wine, stock, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper into meat mixture. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer sauce for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

4

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook in boiling water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

5

Serve sauce over hot pasta.
