Smoky Chorizo & Red Wine Bolognese

This variation infuses the classic Italian meat sauce with the smoky heat of Spanish chorizo and the depth of a bold red wine. It offers a richer, slightly spicier profile that transforms a weeknight staple into a more complex, gourmet experience.

Ingredients

12 oz dried spaghetti
0.5 lb lean ground beef
4 oz cured Spanish chorizo, diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet or Merlot)
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for 3-4 minutes until it releases its red oil and becomes crispy.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef and chopped onion to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the meat is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it bubble for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

  5. 5

    Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover partially, and cook for 20-30 minutes to thicken the sauce.

  6. 6

    While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

  7. 7

    Toss the cooked spaghetti directly into the sauce to coat evenly. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
