This Spaghetti Meat Sauce is incredibly versatile and can be paired with a variety of sides and accompaniments. Here are some ideas to elevate your meal:

• Salad: A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette is a great contrast to the rich sauce.

• Wine Pairing: A glass of red wine, such as Chianti or Cabernet Sauvignon, pairs beautifully with the hearty flavors of the meat sauce.

Tips for Perfect Spaghetti Meat Sauce

• Choose Quality Meat: Ground chuck has a good balance of fat and flavor, but you can also use ground beef, turkey, or a mixture of beef and pork if you prefer.
• Simmer Longer for Deeper Flavor: If you have time, allow the sauce to simmer for up to 2 hours. This will give the spices time to fully infuse the sauce with flavor.
• Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash of water or beef broth to thin it out slightly.
• Batch Cooking: This recipe makes a generous amount of sauce. You can freeze leftovers for future meals just store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
