Ingredients
SPAGHETTI AND MEAT SAUCE
- 500g lean ground meat like beef, turkey, chicken or lamb
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tbs)
- 2 tbs tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Pinch crushed chilli flakes
- 3/4 cup water, broth or dry red wine
- 1/4 cup Cobra Chilli Garlic Habanero
- 1 (400g) can crushed tomatoes
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
- Handful fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
- 350g dried spaghetti
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Directions
SAUCE
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. As the meat cooks, use a wooden spoon to break it up into smaller crumbles.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring every once and a while, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, oregano, and crushed chilli flakes and cook, stirring continuously for about 1 minute.
- Pour in the water and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits of meat or onion stuck to the bottom of the pot. Stir in the tomatoes, Cobra Chilli Garlic Habanero Sauce 3/4 tsp of salt, and a generous pinch of black pepper. Bring the sauce to a low simmer. Cook, uncovered, at a low simmer for 25 minutes. As it cooks, stir and taste the sauce a few times so you can adjust the seasoning accordingly.
PASTA
- About 15 minutes before the sauce finishes cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, and then cook pasta according to package directions, but check for doneness a minute or two before the suggested cooking time.
- Take the sauce off of the heat, and then stir in the basil. Toss in the cooked pasta, and then leave for a minute so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce. Toss again, and then serve with parmesan sprinkled on top.
