Ingredients

750g beef or lamb mince (26 ounces)
2 red onions (chopped)
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 carrot, grated (optional)
1 tin chopped tomatoes (400g/ 14 oz.)
1/4 of a cup water
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 glass of red wine
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
a pinch of cinnamon or one cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
1/4 of a cup olive oil
1 package spaghetti
salt
boiling water
2 tsps olive oil
200g Parmigiano-Reggiano or kefalograviera (7 ounces)

Steps:

To prepare this Greek style spaghetti with meat sauce recipe (Makaronia me kima), begin by preparing the meat sauce. Heat a large pan to medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Stir in the chopped onions and carrot and sauté, until softened and slightly coloured. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste and the mince breaking it up with a wooden spoon and sauté, until caramelized. Pour in the red wine and deglaze (wait to evaporate). Add the tinned tomatoes, water, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaf and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, turn the heat down and simmer with the lid on for about 30 minutes, until most of the juices have evaporated.
Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain the pasta in a collander and stir in 2tsp of olive oil.
Tip over the drained pasta in the meat sauce pan and mix it so the sauce is evenly spread.
Serve with grated cheese and a nice refreshing Greek feta salad and enjoy over a glass of wine!

MAKARONIA ME KIMA (SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE)

Makaronia Me Kima (Spaghetti With Meat Sauce) image

This a Greek version of Bolognese. I consider it to be much tastier and more exotic than that typical marinara-based sauce taste that we are all used to here in America. I'm sure you all know how to boil pasta so I won't bother with telling you that. Just remember to cook it just a tiny bit over "al-dente" to be true to its Greek nature. Also, I prefer to eat this with 1 pound of thin spaghetti. Oh, and don't be stingy with the salt in the pasta water. It should taste like the sea, preferably the Mediterranean and not Long Island Sound. Coat the pasta with some margarine or some extra virgin olive oil.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs 80% lean ground chuck
1 onion, minced
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tomatoes, chopped
3 -4 whole cloves
3 -4 dashes ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon tomato paste (optional)
water
salt
pepper

Steps:

In a large pot with olive oil, turn heat to medium high.
Add the onion, garlic, and parsley and sauté till onion turns translucent. Be careful not to burn. Add a touch of salt. Add tomato paste, although really not necessary. Let it sauté while stirring.
Add the chopped tomatoes and let them release some juice.
Now add the ground meat, and press it down with a fork gently so that huge cubes or balls of meat don't form. Mix. Season with a bit more salt and pepper.
Add some water, just barely covering the meat.
Add the cloves, cinnamon, tomato sauce and stir.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for an hour and a half or until liquid is gone.
Serve with thin spaghetti and top with parmigiano-reggiano, grated kefalotiri or kefalograviera.
