Add this great tasting meat and tomato sauce to your dinnertime repertoire. Toss it with spaghetti or other pasta, use it in lasagna, or as a base for other dishes such as Shepherd's Pie, Sloppy Joes or Chili. The cream smoothes out the flavour and creates a luscious sauce.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef or pork
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried italian herb seasoning
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
salt
1 pinch pepper
1 cup 10% or 18% cream
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
Directions:
1. In a deep pot over high heat, brown ground beef, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, hot pepper flakes and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper, breaking up beef with a spoon, for about 8 min or until beef is no longer pink.
2. Pour in cream and boil, stirring, for 3 min or until about half is absorbed. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil; reduce heat and boil gently, stirring often, for about 5 min until flavours are blended and sauce is thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
