Ingredients
- 16 oz. Spaghetti
- 8 tablespoons butter divided (1 stick)
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup Romano cheese grated (or parmesan), plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook spaghetti according to directions in salted water.
- Meanwhile, saute the onion in 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until softened and beginning to brown (about 3 minutes).
- Add the ground beef (1 lb.); continue cooking until browned and fully cooked.
- Season with beef and onions with the cinnamon (1 tablespoon) and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to coat.
- In a large bowl, layer 1/3 of the cooked spaghetti, 1/3 of the ground beef mixture, and 1/3 of the grated Romano cheese. Repeat layers two more times.
- Brown the remaining 7 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet, or a small pot, by melting the butter over medium high heat and stirring or whisking continuously until the butter foams and turns a light brown color underneath the foam. Remove from heat immediately when this happens.
- Drizzle the browned butter over the spaghetti.
- Serve with extra cheese.
