Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 24 ounces can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
  • 3 teaspoons sugar
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
Directions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the remaining butter, olive oil, tomato purée, 2 teaspoons salt, sugar, pepper, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, and wine, and simmer until thick, about 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the meatballs. Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt with the ground beef. Use a ½ tsp to roll the meat into tiny balls. Place meatballs into sauce and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the meatballs are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
