Preparation
- In a large pot of boiled salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions and drain. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef, stir, and cook until browned, approx. 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Without cleaning the skillet, add the onion and the garlic, stirring frequently until cooked.
- Add all seasonings to the pan and stir until fragrant. Then, add the flour and whisk for a minute until browned.
- Gradually whisk in beef stock, tomato sauce and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer. Stir occasionally until the mixture reduces and has slightly thickened.
