Instructions
  1. Cook your pasta according to package instructions, reserving ½ cup of the starchy cooking water before draining.
  2. Sauté the onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat in the extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Add your garlic to the pan and continue to sauté, stirring frequently so that the garlic doesn't burn.
  4. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onions have sweated out a bit and start to turn translucent, add ground beef.
  5. Cook the ground beef for approximately 5 minuets, breaking up the beef as it cooks.
  6. Once it has browned add all the spices both dried and fresh. Stir to combine.
  7. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and beef broth and simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors develop. Add the cooked pasta and starchy cooking water; tossing to combine.
  8. Serve with parmesan cheese for topping.
