Ingredients
- 100 g yellow onion finely diced
- 30 g carrot diced small
- 25 g celery finely diced
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 400 g canned tomato diced or crushed
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 150 g ground meat beef or beef/pork mixture
- 1 tbsp red wine
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 240 g dry spaghetti
- 2500 ml water
- 2 ½ tsp salt
- 1 pinch nutmeg powder
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 tsp grated Parmesan cheese optional
- 1 tsp fresh parsley optional, to garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan on medium and once hot, add 1 tbsp unsalted butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add 100 g yellow onion, 25 g celery, 30 g carrot and 1 clove garlic to the pan and fry until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Next, push the vegetables to the edges and add 150 g ground meat to middle of the pan. Fry until browned and mix everything together.
- Once the meat has browned, add 1 tbsp red wine, 2 tbsp tomato ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and 1 pinch ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Add 400 g canned tomato along with 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp oregano and 1 bay leaf. Mix well.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by half.
- While it's simmering, bring 2500 ml water to a boil and add 2 ½ tsp salt. Once the water is boiling, add 240 g dry spaghetti and cook for the time stated on the packaging. (Reduce by 1-2 minutes for el dente.)
- Once the meat sauce has reached your desired thickness, remove the bay leaf and add 1 pinch nutmeg powder and 1 pinch cinnamon. Mix well.
- Drain the spaghetti and divide onto serving plates. Pour an equal amount of meat sauce on top of each portion of spaghetti. Sprinkle with 1 tsp grated parmesan cheese and 1 tsp fresh parsley (optional).
- Enjoy!
Notes
- The alcohol in the wine is cooked off during the process so it's safe for kids to eat.
- If you prefer not to use wine, you can substitute for an equal amount of grape, pomegranate or cranberry juice.
