Recipe by Judy Kim This ragu contains not one, but two different kinds of meat—pork sausage and ground beef— and *loads* of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lb. pork sausage
  • 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • 1 tbsp. fennel seed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  • kosher salt
  • 1 lb. kale, chopped
  • 1 28 oz. can whole tomatoes
  • 1 lb. spaghetti
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 c. chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage, beef, and fennel seed, breaking meat apart using a wooden spoon, and cook until fat renders, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and tomato paste and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Stir occasionally, 15 minutes.
  3. Add kale, whole tomatoes with juice, and 1/2 can of water. Break tomatoes with side of a spoon or crush using your hands. Simmer on low, 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain spaghetti. Add to meat sauce. If pasta seems dry, add pasta water a little at a time. Mix well and add freshly ground black pepper, garnish with parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.
