  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1 lb Spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a medium sized pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until translucent.
  • Add ground beef and cook until browned.
  • Add the red wine and cook until it has evaporated.
  • Add the stock and stir well. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to combine.

  • In a separate pot, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving some of the pasta water for later.
  • Melt the butter in a pasta pan, toss pasta in the melted butter along with a little pasta water.
