Savor pasta night with a delicious, meat-based sauce. Our take on this Italian classic calls for fennel, ButcherBox ground beef, and a marinara sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 package ButcherBox Ground Beef
- 1 jar marinara sauce (We love Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce.)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 cup fennel small dice
- 1 small onion small dice
- ½ cup carrot small dice
- 2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- ½ cup red wine Substitutions: water or stock
- ½ cup milk or cream optional
Instructions
- Heat a large saucepot on the stovetop at medium heat. Add avocado oil to the hot pan.
- Add fennel, carrots, onion, and oregano. Sauté for approximately 4 minutes or until onion begins to turn translucent.
- Crumble ground beef into saucepot. Sauté until ground beef is 90% browned. Add garlic and red wine. Reduce the liquid for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover and turn the heat down to the low setting for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving with your favorite pasta.
Optional Step:
- After 15 minutes, stir in milk or cream. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
