Ingredients

6 servings

For the pasta

12 oz spaghetti
Wild Harvest Spaghetti, Organic, Whole Wheat 12 Oz Organic Gluten Free Brown Rice Spaghetti, 12 oz
See all
1 tbsp kosher salt

For the sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 medium carrot, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
¾ lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
2 tbsp tomato paste
½ cup dry red wine
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp sugar
Ingredient note
Added sugar is limited on an anti-inflammatory diet because it can promote inflammation, but the small amount (~1/8 tsp per serving) of white sugar here is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid white sugar, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so it does not brown.
