Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 can 6 oz tomato paste
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water. Mix until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, black pepper, basil, and oregano. Stir to incorporate, and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy and slightly thickened.
