Speedy Meat Sauce (25 minutes)

1 pound 90% (or higher) lean ground beef
1 can Italian-style crushed tomatoes
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup red wine
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 8-ounce package of your favorite pasta
freshly-grated Parmesan

1. Sauté the ground beef, using a wooden fork to break the meat into tiny pieces. Add the onion and cook until golden and lazy.
2. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta according to package directions.
3. Add the garlic to the skillet with the ground beef, and cook for a minute or two. Stir in the tomatoes and the wine, allowing to simmer for about 10 minutes. Add about 1 1/2 cups of ketchup (I know this sounds sketchy, but it really adds great flavor and consistency to this dish), mix well, season with salt and pepper, and simmer about 5 minutes more.
4. Serve over your drained pasta. Pass Parmesan separately.
