Description

This is a very hearty sauce that goes best with bigger pastas.

Ingredients

Instructions

Cook the ground beef with a little oil in a large pot until it begins to brown. Add the oregano, chili powder, and some fresh ground black pepper and cook for a few minutes longer as it browns. Add the red wine and stire around to loosen everything from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the tomato paste and the canned tomatoes, then add the rest of the vegetables and the olives. Stir over high heat until it begins to bubble, then reduce and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, adding a bit of water if necessary and salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

I use brined kalamata olives, which have a very rich flavour and are also quite salty.
