- 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
Saute onion & garlic: Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Cook garlic and onion for 2 minutes until translucent.
Cook beef: Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go.
Add tomato: Once beef has all changed from red to brown, add tomato passata.
Rinse out bottle: Pour some beef stock into the empty bottle, shake, then pour into the pot.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan.
