Go for the traditional Italian recipe. If your diet allows, I recommend using the cream in this recipe. You can also use this with tagliatelle or lasagne. Buon appetito!
4 oz. lean ground pork
13 oz. ground beef
5 oz. smoked ham
5 oz. chicken livers (optional)
2 onions, chopped
4 tbsp. chopped carrot
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup red or white wine
2 cups beef stock
1 3/4 lb. peeled tomatoes + 2 tbsp. tomato paste
3 tbsp. cream (optional)
Salt, pepper
Bay leaves, basil (optional)
Start by making a battuto, in other words, chop all the vegetables (don't forget to remove the "strings" from the celery before chopping);
Sauté the onion, carrot and celery over low heat in oil (or oil and butter); sweat the vegetables until they color slightly; add the garlic, stirring well with a wooden spoon; add the ground meat and cook over low heat, breaking the meat up with a fork.
Season with salt and pepper; deglaze with the white or red wine; increase the heat and cook until the wine has evaporated. Add the quartered tomatoes and the tomato paste, thinned with a little tomato juice, water or broth.
Season with the bay leaves and basil, if using, and combine well. Increase the heat to medium so that the sauce boils gently; cover the pot and let simmer for two to three hours, adding more broth as necessary.
If you are using cream, add it an hour before the end of the cooking time; remove the bay leaves before serving. The cream will tend to cut some of the tomato's acidity.
ABBRUZZE MARINARA SAUCE

1 tbsp. dried basil or 1/2 c. fresh chopped

Break up tomatoes with fork. Cook over medium heat for 1 hour. Add more parsley just before serving. This is a basic marinara sauce.
