Cooking method

Cooking time: 50 min

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Take a large, deep pot (big enough to cook the spaghetti comfortably), fill it with water, bring it to a boil, and add salt. Add the spaghetti and cook until done per the package directions. Cooking time varies with the thickness of the spaghetti, so I won't give an exact number.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Drain the cooked spaghetti in a colander. Return it to the pot, add a pat of butter, and toss.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Cut the onion into small dice and grate the carrot on the coarse side of the grater. Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet, then add the onion and carrot. Sauté over medium heat, stirring constantly, until soft.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Add the ground meat to the vegetables. Homemade ground meat is best rather than store-bought. Use any kind — beef, pork, pork-and-beef, turkey, even chicken; I used pork. Keep cooking, stirring now and then, until it changes color. Season with salt, ground black pepper, and paprika, then add a little flour. Mix it all in well and add the tomato paste.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Stir the meat, vegetables, and seasonings together again, then pour in the hot water. Mix well and simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes. Add a little more salt if needed, along with the pressed garlic and the sugar, then stir and simmer the sauce another 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Grate a little cheese. Now that everything's ready, plate the spaghetti, spoon the meat-and-tomato sauce on top, and finish with the grated cheese.
