While the meat is draining add EVOO to the hot pan and then add onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add sausage to the pan and crumble.
When sausage is no longer pink add ground beef back to the pan and mix in. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
Pour in red wine or beef broth and tomato paste stir occasionally while simmering until liquid is reduced. About 5 minutes.

Lay 3 pieces of uncooked pasta crosswise over sauce. Do not overlap and don’t worry if the pasta doesn’t touch the sides of the pan.
