Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent (approximately 5 minutes). Add the ground beef and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir in salt and turmeric (approximately 8 minutes).

02

Step
8 mins

In a small bowl, dilute the tomato paste with water. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the beef (approximately 2 minutes).

03

Step
2 mins

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

04

Step
30 mins

While the beef mixture simmers, cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain well, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water (approximately 10 minutes).

05

Step
10 mins

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the beef mixture. Toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

06

Step
40 mins

Cover and cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together beautifully. Serve hot.

For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice subtle heat.
Grated Parmesan cheese is the perfect finishing touch.
