Our little one was feeling a little under-the-weather today, so I made her one of her favourites for dinner: spaghetti without any yucky, sneaky vegetables. Just noodles and rich, tomatoey, slightly sweet, beefy sauce. We'll get back to healthy eating tomorrow.

Steps

45 minutes

1

Add a splash of veg oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. Add the beef and fry, breaking up any large chunks, until the meat is almost cooked. Drain all but a few tablespoons of oil from the pan.
2

Add the onions to the pan and continue frying until the beef is caramelized and the onions translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry another 2 minutes.
3

Add the beef stock and let simmer until all the liquid has evaporated and the meat starts frying again.
4

Stir in the tomato paste and oregano. Let fry for 3 minutes, then add the canned tomatoes, including any juices. Fill the can halfway with water and add that as well. Stir in the sugar. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
5

Boil the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drag the noodles into the sauce. Add the parmesan and toss to combine.
