Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500 g minced meat, half and half or poultry mince
• 500g spaghetti
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 large can of tomatoes, peeled

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Fry the minced meat in hot olive oil until lightly browned, then add the chopped onion and fry until translucent. Add the tomato puree, herbs, and garlic and fry for a while. Then add the soup vegetables and fry for a while too. Deglaze everything with the vegetable stock and peeled tomatoes. Let everything simmer for about 1-2 hours until thickened, stirring frequently. Finally, add the cream and bring to a boil briefly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with spaghetti cooked al dente. I once let an Italian try it, and he was impressed too. A more authentic Italian dish would be to add a splash of red wine, but not everyone likes that.
