Meat Sauce for pasta

This meat sauce is really easy to make, as it relies on store-bought sauce, but it's absolutely delicious. I always get great raves from everyone when I make it.

For an even more delicious dish, sprinkle shredded cheese (mozarella, jack, provolone or a mixture of cheeses) over the hot pasta before serving the meat sauce.

-1 tbsp. olive oil
-1 onion, chopped
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1 lb ground buffalo or ground beef
-salt & pepper to taste
-2 tsp. garlic powder
-2 tsp. oregano
-2 tsp. paprika
-1/2 tsp. curry powder
-1/2 tsp. coriander
-1/2 tsp. cumin
-1/2 tsp. chili powder
-1/4 tsp. allspice
-1 jar pasta sauce
-1/2 cup red wine

Sautee the chopped onion in the olive oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet. When soft, add the garlic and sautee for a couple of minutes. Add the ground meat and brown. Add the spices and stir. Add the pasta sauce and the red wine, stir and cook until the meat is well cooked. Serve over any type of pasta.
