Barefoot’s weeknight bolognese

olive oil

grass fed sirloin - I typically use 80% to 85% lean, as we like the flavor that a little fat brings.

minced garlic (roughly 5 cloves)

dried oregano

crushed red pepper flakes

dry red wine, divided - I suggest using a rich and flavorful wine such as a Chianti or a Cabernet. I used a Cabernet, and it was amazing, so rich in flavor.

crushed tomatoes, preferably San Marzano, or a 24-ounce BPA free box of San Marzano tomatoes - I used the 24-ounce BPA-free box of San Marzao tomatoes, and it's the same as using a 28-ounce can.

tomato paste

to 1½ teaspoons (coarse or fine) sea salt, divided, plus more to taste

freshly ground black pepper

box dried orecchiette or bow-tie pasta

ground nutmeg

chopped fresh basil leaves, lightly packed

heavy cream

freshly shredded or grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
