For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of simmering. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve over your favorite pasta, polenta, or use as a base for lasagna. For a deeper flavor, brown the ground beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Consider adding a bay leaf during the simmering process and remove it before serving.
