Carne di maiale al sugo come vuole la tradizione siciliana

ground pork

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative, while pecorino is often cheaper than parmesan.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add ground pork to the skillet; cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-8 minutes.

Stir in canned tomatoes and tomato paste; mix well to combine.

Add dried oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; stir to incorporate.

Bring the mixture to a simmer; reduce heat to low and let cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed; add more salt or pepper if desired.

Serve over pasta or rice, garnished with grated parmesan and fresh basil.
