Meat Spaghetti Sauce

Meat Spaghetti Sauce

Everyday

Meat spaghetti sauce is a hearty tomato-based pasta topping simmered with ground meat, typically beef or pork, and seasoned with Italian herbs like oregano and basil. This protein-rich sauce contains significantly more fat than vegetarian marinara due to the added meat, though leaner meat options can reduce this. The slow-cooked preparation allows flavors to deepen, creating a thick, savory sauce traditionally paired with spaghetti or layered in baked pasta dishes like lasagna.
