Instructions
- 1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

- 3 Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4 Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- 5 Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, and red wine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 6 Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
- 7 Serve the sauce over the cooked spaghetti and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips
For a richer flavor, let the sauce simmer longer to allow the flavors to meld together.
