Genovese Sauce or La Genovese Napoletana is an incredibly delicious sauce made with a ton of slow-cooked onions, beef, and white wine. Although it takes time to simmer slowly into the most rich and luscious pasta sauce you'll ever taste it doesn't require much attention and is super simple to make!

he origins of this sauce are a little confusing, the name suggests that it would originate in Genoa but it's actually from Naples.

Some say it was brought to Campania by Genovese sailors during the Renaissance while other stories suggest that it was created by a Genovese chef in Naples.
