Pasta Meat Sauce

When I first started work there was a young Italian engineer at the office that loved to tell us how he made his Momma`s meat sauce so I asked for the recipe and I have been making it ever since.   It is excellent, with the secret ingredient being Knorr Chicken Bouillon Cube!  I love to double up on this recipe and freeze tubs for a quick supper.

Dori`s Meat Sauce
3/4 lb lean ground beef

1/4 lb ground pork or veal

onion finely chopped + 1 tbsp olive oil

1 clove of garlic smashed

pepper, thyme, oregano, rosemary 

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 12 oz can tomato sauce

1 28 oz can pear shaped tomatoes - puree.  Use a hand masher if you do not have a food processor.

1 chicken bouillon cube - Knorr diluted in 1 cup hot water

In a frying pan brown the onion and garlic in the olive oil.  Add the meat and slowly cook till brown.  Add spices while cooking.

In a large pot mix everything together and bring to a low boil for 1 hour, or you could use your slow cooker and let it simmer on low for about 4 hours.
