    A wonderful meat sauce with a twist...some heat! It has red pepper flakes and allspice as the secret ingredients! Prepare for the heat to sneak up on you.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 1 pound ground sirloin (90 percent lean ground beef)
    • 1 small onion, chopped
    • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1 /2 teaspoon allspice
    • Coarse salt and black pepper
    • 1 medium portobello mushroom cap, finely chopped
    • 1 /2 cup (a couple of glugs) red wine
    • 3 /4 cup beef broth or stock
    • 1 (28 to 32 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
    • A handful chopped flat-leaf parsley
    • 1 pound rigatoni, cooked to al dente
    • Parmesan or Romano, grated
    • Warm crusty bread, if desired

    Directions

    1. Heat a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Go once around the pan with a slow stream of extra virgin olive oil. Add crushed pepper flakes and infuse oil 10 seconds.
    2. Add beef, onions, garlic, and seasonings. Brown meat for 5 minutes; add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes more.
    3. Add wine and reduce 1 minute. Add broth and tomatoes to sauce and reduce heat to low.
    4. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes to combine flavors.
    5. Toss pasta with half of the sauce and serve with extra sauce for topping. Pass grated Parmesan or Romano and warm crusty bread at the table.
