Family meal, original recipe from my dear dad

Finely chop the onions and garlic. Add two tablespoons of olive oil to a sufficiently large pot and heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and fry until translucent. Add the ground beef and fry, stirring, until browned and crumbly. Add the tomato paste and fry briefly, then cut the peeled tomatoes in half a few times and add them with their juices. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt, pepper, sugar, and both types of paprika. While the sauce is cooking, I heat the water for the pasta. I add plenty of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil to the cooking water. I cook the pasta according to the time specified on the package, but taste it beforehand to make sure it stays “al dente.”
