Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 ounce pack pancetta or you can dice your own, diced
  • 1 onion peeled, trimmed, and roughly chopped
  • 4 ribs celery trimmed and roughly chopped
  • 4 carrot peeled, trimmed, and roughly chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic peeled and mashed
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 ounce can tomato paste
  • 2 ounce crushed tomato canned
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

For serving

  • whole-wheat spaghetti noodles cooked
  • Parmesan Cheese optional garnish, freshly grated

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef, pork, and pancetta, and cook while stirring until brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked meat to the bottom of the slow cooker, leaving the cooking fat in the pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine the onion, veggies, and garlic and process until finely chopped. Put the skillet back over medium heat and add the veggies. Cook while stirring until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan (carefully to avoid flare-ups) and boil down until almost evaporated. Stir in the tomato paste and then add the mixture to the slow cooker.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and top with seasonings. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Skim off the fat if desired (and discard). Serve over whole-wheat spaghetti noodles garnished with fresh parm, a salad, and some homemade garlic toast on the side.
