Ingredients:

• 600g of minced meat (any meat/combination)
• 800g of passata
• 2 tbsp of tomato paste
• 1-2 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, pressed
• 1 glass of white wine
• Optional: Handful of basil or dried herbs

Instruction:

1. Put a pot (heavier the better) on medium heat and add olive oil
2. Once hot (not searing temperatures), add the meat and cook until all the water is evaporated. You can see the oil released from the meat into the pan.
3. Add the onion and garlic, cook until softened (2-3 minutes). Add dried herbs if using.
4. Add the tomato paste and cook it for a couple of minutes and be careful not to burn it. Once it is fragrant, add the wine and let around half of it evaporate.
5. Go in with the passata, close the lid, set to to simmer for anywhere between an hour to three hours. You can season at this stage and season again at the end. Add optional basil at this stage.
