Saute ground beef in a pot over medium heat until halfway cooked.
Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic and tomato paste. Cook until meat is browned and vegetables are soft.
Add red wine (or broth) and simmer until reduced in half.
Add the dried basil, canned tomatoes, coconut milk, salt and pepper and simmer for about 1 hour. (The longer the better to break down the ground beef and thicken the sauce)
Serve with roasted spaghetti squash. (Also tastes great on butternut squash and sweet potatoes)
Recipe Notes
Even though this recipe makes use of red wine, the alcohol content is greatly reduced by 90 - 95% due to the long simmering process at the end. If this is still an issue, it can be omitted entirely and substituted with chicken or beef broth.
