Ingredients

Weights are for the whole recipe, in the state named for each ingredient (raw, cooked, dry or canned), because that is the weight the nutrition below is calculated from. Each ingredient links to its nutrition facts.

Also needed, not counted: 2 garlic cloves, crushed; 1 tsp dried oregano; salt and black pepper.

Method

  1. Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water following the packet, drain and weigh out the cooked amount.
  2. Cook the beef in a large pan over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned with no pink left.
  3. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook for 6 minutes until the mushrooms give up their water and brown. Add the garlic and oregano for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the marinara and simmer for 10 minutes. The beef must reach 71 °C (160 °F). Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Toss the pasta through the sauce, divide into three bowls and top with the parmesan.

Notes

  • Add a splash of the pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Contains wheat and milk.
