Recipe by Lauren Miyashiro Ditch the jarred marinara and whip up some killer homemade spaghetti sauce.

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. italian breadcrumbs
1 large egg
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c. grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 c. finely minced Italian parsley
4 garlic cloves, finely minced (divided)
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb. hot Italian sausage, cut into 1" pieces
2 (28-oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 c. red wine
Pinch of sugar
1 lb. Cooked spaghetti

Instructions

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat.
Meanwhile, mix together ground beef, milk, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, 1/2 cup parmesan, parsley, and 2 cloves minced garlic in a large bowl. Using your hands, form the mixture into large meatballs.
When the oil is hot, fry meatballs until browned on all sides and almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Heat another 2 tablespoons oil and cook sausage, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Add cooked sausage to plate with meatballs.
Wipe skillet clean, add remaining olive oil. Cook garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to combine. Stir in sausage and meatballs, add wine and a pinch of sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Serve over a large bowl of spaghetti. Garnish with Parmesan.
