meat sauce
Hearty pasta dressing
Meat sauce is a tomato-based sauce containing ground beef or other meat, typically served over pasta.
In American cooking, it's the standard accompaniment to spaghetti—distinguishing it from plain marinara.
Italian-American meat sauce differs from true Bolognese, which uses less tomato and more milk or wine.
I'll have the spaghetti with meat sauce.
