- 1 pound Ground Italian sausage
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

- 2 tablespoons Fresh minced flat-leaf parsley

Instructions
- Heat a large, 4-5 quart pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage, ground beef, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Add basil, oregano, bay leaves and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add marinara to the pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 20-30 minutes. Stir in a couple tablespoons of freshly minced parsley.
- About 15 minutes prior to finishing the sauce, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add a tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
- Once the pasta is cooked to al dente (cooked, but with a bite) add the pasta directly to the sauce and stir/toss to coat. Serve immediately with fresh basil and parmesan cheese for garnish.
