1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tomatoes, crushed
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
Seasoning cube
Salt
Cooking oil
Water
Pepper, optional
Instructions:
In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the margarine and put in the spaghetti, whichever amount is good for you.
Once they are well softened, drain the water and run cold water through them, to prevent them from entangling.
In a pan, heat some cooking oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute until softened and fragrant or for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the minced meat to the pan, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and well cooked.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, seasoning cube, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavours to blend.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, turn off the heat.
Serve the spaghetti and the juicy minced meat and enjoy.
