1. Brown the Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef (or Italian sausage), breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.

4. Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, or on high for 2–3 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavors meld together.

6. Serve & Enjoy
Serve the rich sauce over the cooked pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
