Remember how incredibly excited I was to find an awesome, local source of grass-fed beef?? Well, the excitement continues in the NomEatNom kitchen! This time, however, instead of juicy steak we have savory ground beef to add to the menu!
When deciding what to do with the meat, I couldn’t stop thinking about pasta! Pasta drenched in a mouthwatering meat sauce, with hints of red wine and bursting with flavor!
OMnomNOMnomNOMnomNOMnom!!!!
After all, can it really get any more classic than spaghetti with meat sauce??
And by classic, I mean amazingly yummy, but of course! 😉
