INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for cooking, I like to use avocado oil spray
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef, lean
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup beef stock
- 2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 16 oz pasta, like rotini
- 1 cup passata
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes, or fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Diced fresh parsley, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, then stir in the garlic and ground beef.
- Season with salt and black pepper: Add the seasonings, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to coat the beef.
- Pour in the tomato passata, reduce the heat, and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cream and Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper as needed.
- Let the sauce gently thicken. Add the cooked pasta and toss until evenly coated. If reheating later, reserve some pasta water or stir in a splash of half-and-half/milk to thin the sauce while warming.
