- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, (chopped)
- 3 large garlic cloves, (finely chopped)
- 1 pound ground lamb
- ⅓ cup tomato paste
- ¾ cup dry red wine
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
- One 6-ounce bag fresh baby spinach
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
- 16 ounces spaghetti
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, (for topping)
Steps
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the lamb and cook, stirring, until the meat is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Spoon out the fat and discard.
Stir in the tomato paste, wine and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. Add the spinach and mint; stir until wilted.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving ½ cup of the cooking liquid.
Toss the pasta with the cooking liquid and the ground lamb sauce.
Serve with grated cheese.
