Spaghetti with Pork

I think I like Pork better than Beef.   Especially in meatballs and meat sauces.  In the past I would use a combination of the two.   But lately, more often than not I use just pork.

The other night I made a sauce using just lean ground pork.  This was a quick sauce, taking less than an hour to simmer. So very do able on a work night.  And served over spaghetti.  I used fresh tomatoes, but canned would have worked just as well.   I also used both dried basil and fresh basil.  The fresh gets added at the end, just before serving.
