Ingredients

5 servings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 g arlic cloves (, minced)
  • 1 onion (, finely chopped)
  • 500 g / 1 lb beef mince (ground beef) (, I use lean)
  • 700 g / 24.5 oz tomato passata (tomato puree) ((Note 1))
  • 3 cups beef broth ((or stock cubes + water, Note 2))
  • 2 tsp Italian mixed herbs ((options, see Note 3))
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (red pepper flakes) (, adjust to taste)
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3/4 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 350 g / 12 oz spaghetti (, uncooked (other pasta - Note 4))
  • Parmesan

Steps

  1. Saute onion & garlic: Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Cook garlic and onion for 2 minutes until translucent.

  2. Cook beef: Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go.

  3. Add tomato: Once beef has all changed from red to brown, add tomato passata.

  4. Rinse out bottle: Pour some beef stock into the empty bottle, shake, then pour into the pot.

  5. Add everything else: Add remaining beef stock and all remaining ingredients except spaghetti. Give it a good stir, then let it come up to the boil.

  6. Add spaghetti: Add pasta, fanning it out around the pot. Leave for 30 seconds to start softening, then start pushing it in under the liquid.

  7. Cook pasta: Once fully submerged, cook for 12 minutes, stirring every minute or so, and more towards the end. At about the 8 minute mark, lower the heat to medium otherwise the base might catch (but ensure it is still bubbling gently - you don't want pasta just bloating in warm water).

  8. Remove from stove, toss well: Take it off the stove once the pasta is JUST cooked, the tiniest bit firmer than you want, and when still saucy. Toss it for about 30 seconds or so - the sauce will reduce further, the pasta will finish cooking.

  9. Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan.
