Easy Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 medium clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoons)
• 1 pound ground beef chuck
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
• 2 sprigs fresh marjoram leaves, chopped
• 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand or in a food mill
• 1 (3 ounce) can tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons capers
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 4 teaspoons juice from 1 lemon
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 pound pasta
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until gently browned, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1. Add the ground chuck and break up into chunks. Cook until no pink color remains, about 8 minutes.
2. Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, and marjoram, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, capers, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add the bay leaf, bring to a simmer, and lower the heat to very low. Cook, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep the bottom from burning. If the liquid from your sauce evaporates too quickly, add a little hot water to keep it from burning.
4. When ready to serve, cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to box instructions. Toss pasta with sauce and serve with grated parmesan.
