Introduction
A rich, hearty, and flavorful Italian meat sauce served over spaghetti. This efficient recipe delivers a deeply comforting classic in about an hour, utilizing traditional elements like soffritto, pancetta, and wine for a rich depth of flavor.
Step 1
Finely chop the onion. Although the recipe calls for half an onion, you can chop a whole onion to adjust the soffritto ratio to your preference.
Step 2
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin strips, then finely dice them. This, along with onion and celery, forms the classic flavor base known as soffritto.
Step 3
Thinly slice and finely dice the celery stalks to match the size of the other diced vegetables.
Step 4
Heat a large pan over medium heat, coat the bottom generously with olive oil, and add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté them together.
Step 5
Slice the thick-cut pancetta into thin strips, then chop them into small pieces.

Important Notes
Soffritto (onion, carrot, celery) is the foundational flavor base of Italian cooking. Dicing them small helps them melt beautifully into the sauce.
When adding the ground beef, raise the heat slightly to offset the cooling effect of the meat and keep the cooking process active.
Deglazing with wine is essential because it lifts the delicious caramelized bits (fond) from the bottom of the pan directly into the sauce.
Using ground beef with a bit of fat instead of extra-lean sirloin provides essential moisture and rich flavor.
Adding butter at the very end of cooking gives the sauce an unctuous, silky finish.
Always cook the pasta a minute or two less than the package directions; it will finish cooking when tossed with the hot sauce.
