Method
Step 1
In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef and sauté for 5 minutes. The beef won't be cooked through— that's OK. Then, add the onions, carrots and garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the onions become soft. Stir in the tomato pasta as best as you can and let it cook for 1 minute.
Step 2
Stir in the wine and let it simmer for 5 minutes to reduce down. As your stirring, scrape the bottom a bit to lift up the flavor bits. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and thyme. Give it a big stir so everything is combined. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Step 3
To finish, stir in the butter and let it melt into the sauce. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss together so the pasta is evenly coated. Serve immediately. Garnish with parmesan cheese and/or basil.
