Pasta with Meat Sauce

Add water to a pot. When it comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon salt and let it dissolve. Add pasta and cook until al dente, usually 7–12 minutes. Drain.

Melt butter in your pot, add cooked pasta and gently stir. Cover your pot and keep warm.

For the meat sauce:
Heat a saucepan and add olive oil. When smoking hot, add beef and cook. When all the liquid has cooked off, continue cooking 5 more minutes.

Blend onions and garlic (and any other desired vegetables, such as leeks, carrots, green or red peppers) and add to the beef. Sauté for 5 minutes, adding olive oil if needed. Add nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and tomato paste. Sauté for 3 minutes.

Add salt, pepper, bouillon cube and enough boiled water to cover your beef. Simmer until all the juices are absorbed.

Serve on top of pasta with plenty grated Parmesan. Enjoy!
