Ingredients

  • 1 pound (453.59 g) of fresh spaghetti
  • 2 Tablespoons (2 Tablespoons) olive oil
  • 1 pound (453.59 g) lean ground beef
  • 1 (1) red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves (2 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ pints (709.76 ml) heirloom cherry tomatoes, divided
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) ground cinnamon
  • 1 (1) bay leaf
  • ¼ cup (6 g) mixed herbs, (oregano, basil, parsley) chopped

To Serve

  • ½ cup (50 g) grated parmesan
  • extra herbs for serving, optional
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions and set aside.
  • In a nonstick sauce pan over a medium heat, brown the ground beef well, about 6-10 minutes. Once it’s cooked through, place in a bowl and set aside. Add the sliced onion and garlic to the pan and cook until the onions are golden, soft, and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  • Toss the pasta with the sauce and top with extra herbs, the remaining cherry tomatoes, and the grated parmesan. Drizzle with some chilli oil
