1. Sauté first 6 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 to 10 minutes or until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.
2. Stir in crushed tomatoes and next 4 ingredients. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
4. Stir in parsley and basil and cook 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Serve over cooked linguine and top with freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, if desired.

Cooking Tip: A Dutch oven is a large heavy pot, usually made of iron or earthenware, that has a close fitting lid. It can be used both on the stove top and in the oven. For this recipe, any large pot will do.
