A Classic Meat Sauce with Linguine

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add diced shallots and cook until soft and translucent. Next add diced garlic and cook for one minute. To that, add ground chuck and cook until browned. Season the meat with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Add the can of crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add a large splash of red wine, stir, cover and reduce heat to low for about 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the water has reached a boil, add the pasta and some olive oil and cook as directed on the box. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce (when sauce is finished). Serve with freshly grated parmesan and garlic toast. Serves about 6-8 people!
