Sugo di carne
This traditional Italian meat sauce consists of ground beef, pork, or a combination of both, that is sautéed alongside a sofrito of onions, carrots, and celery, a splash of red wine, and canned tomatoes. The mixture is traditionally seasoned with salt and pepper, and it can optionally be enhanced with tomato paste and porcini mushrooms.
Sugo di carne is typically enjoyed over pasta dishes such as penne, rigatoni, tagliatelle, fetuccine, or pappardelle, which are often sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. This traditional meat sauce is also frequently used in the preparation of lasagna.
