Hallie Burton
How to Make It
Step 1

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Increase heat to medium-high. Add the beef, salt, and pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the tomatoes and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce slightly thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
Step 5
Serve the pasta with the sauce and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

A delicious, fresh and quick meat sauce. Despite other reviews, I found it was perfectly seasoned using the proportions listed above (and I like my food well-seasoned, almost bordering on salty). It also freezes beautifully! Prepare as directed and store flat in freezer bags. Thaw in the refrigerator the night before and all you have to do is boil water for pasta!

I made this last night for my husband and I with some changes. I love that it's a good starting point to work from. I added cumin, chili flakes, and Italian seasonings. Also, I used fresh tomatoes and tomato paste and then added some of the water used to boil the pasta with olive oil. Then at the end I was still a little bored with it and added about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese and a dollop of butter. Delicious!

Really liked this recipe, but I did need to add more salt and pepper and cook it longer to give it time for the meat to flavor the sauce. Would definitely make it again, probably adding more garlic.

I am surprised by the low rating for this recipe! I have made this several times - my husband LOVES this recipe. The first time I made it, I thought it was a little bland, but so quick and easy, I was willing to make again. Since then, I just add some Italian seasoning to the beef when cooking and it really adds enough to make it flavorful. I have also used ground turkey and have been happy with the results. I would definitely give it 3 stars.
