Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make homemade spaghetti with minced meat and tomato paste? Minced meat can be used both homemade and purchased. Pork, beef, chicken or anything at all. If you, like me, prefer homemade minced meat, then I recommend mincing the meat twice to make it softer. I have minced beef. Cover the minced meat with cling film and leave to rest in the refrigerator for a while.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour cold filtered water into a saucepan and place it over medium heat. Do not add salt yet, this will allow the water to boil faster.

Step 3

Step 3
Heat sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan and add finely chopped onions. Fry it over medium heat until golden brown.

Step 4

Step 4
Place spaghetti vertically in a boiling pot! water and, as the spaghetti softens, use a spoon to help it completely submerge in the water. Then salt the water to taste.

Step 5

Step 5
Cook spaghetti, stirring occasionally, for one minute less than package directions. I cooked mine for six minutes after bringing the water back to a boil. But everyoneʼs spaghetti is different, so follow the instructions. While the spaghetti is cooking, letʼs make the minced meat.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the minced meat in a frying pan and fry, stirring, for about a minute. The minced meat should change its color.

Step 7

Step 7
After the excess moisture has evaporated, add tomato paste and salt the dish to taste. You can also add your favorite spices that match the meat.

Step 8

Step 8
Simmer the minced meat over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about five minutes.

Step 9

Step 9
Ideally, by this time, the spaghetti should already be ready. Drain them in a colander and allow excess water to drain. Then transfer it to the frying pan with the meat.

Step 10

Step 10
Gently stir the dish with a spatula so as not to damage the integrity of the spaghetti.

Step 11

Step 11
With the lid closed, warm the spaghetti for a couple of minutes. Thatʼs why we undercooked the spaghetti in the pan a little. Otherwise, they would have already gone through the frying pan. Spaghetti with minced meat in tomato sauce is served hot. You can also top them with extra tomato sauce or ketchup and garnish with fresh herbs.
