🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Peel and finely dice the onion. Heat olive oil in a large pan, add the onion and sweat for 5 min. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef, break it up and brown evenly. Pour in crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper. Simmer over low heat for 30 min, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti al dente according to package directions. Drain, reserving some cooking water.

  4. 4

    Add drained spaghetti to the sauce. Gently toss for 1-2 min over low heat, adding a little cooking water if needed for a creamy texture.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Tips & Tricks
  • Prepare the sauce the day before: the flavors will develop even more and you'll save time on the day.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the beef with plant-based mince or a mix of lentils and mushrooms.
  • Let the sauce simmer uncovered at the end of cooking for a nicely thickened and concentrated texture.
