Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

4 cups beef broth

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Ricotta cheese, for topping

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft.

2. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant.

3. Add ground beef and brown until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.

4. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil.
