Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Mince the onion finely.

    Advice : Mincing the onion finely allows it to integrate better with the meat, creating a more unified sauce.

    Ingredients
    Onion 1/2 piece
  2. 2

    Add 2 liters of water and 20g of salt to a pot, bring to a boil, and start boiling the pasta according to the package instructions.

    Advice : Since starch from the pasta dissolves into the water, saving about 2 tablespoons of it is useful for adjusting the sauce consistency later.

    Boil the pasta 9 min
    Ingredients
    Water 2 liters
    Salt 20g
    Pasta (Spaghetti) 200g
  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the ground meat over medium heat. Once the meat changes color, add the onion and sauté for another 3 minutes until softened.

    Advice : Lightly blot away any excess fat from the meat with paper towels to ensure the flavor stays sharp and the dish isn't too greasy.

    Sauté meat and onions 3 min
    Ingredients
    Olive Oil 1 tbsp
    Ground Mixed Meat 200g
    Onion 1/2 piece
  4. 4

    Add the granulated bouillon and ketchup to the pan, and heat for about 1 minute while stirring to combine the flavors.

    Advice : Adding a few drops of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce as a secret ingredient will give the sauce even more depth.

    Combine seasonings 1 min
    Ingredients
    Granulated Bouillon 1 tsp
    Ketchup 4 tbsp
  5. 5

    Transfer the boiled pasta to the pan and toss well with the sauce. Plate the dish and sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper to taste.

    Advice : If the sauce seems dry, adding a bit of the saved pasta water will help it emulsify and coat the pasta smoothly.

    Ingredients
    Pasta (Spaghetti) 200g
    Coarsely Ground Black Pepper Pinch
