Method

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, we recommend 7g of salt per litre of water. Once the water is boiling, cook the Spaghetti for 2 minutes less than the recommended time on the pack.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the beef mince and parmesan cheese, seasoning with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Shape the meatballs into small balls and set aside.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until translucent. Then, add the passata and cook for 5 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and add the meatballs. Cover with a lid and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Tip - if you don't have time to cook the sauce from scratch, try one of our delicious pasta sauces!

Step 5

Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water. Combine the Spaghetti with the sauce and add the reserved pasta water. Cook altogether for a further 2 minutes and add the Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve and top with the Pecorino Romano and a drizzle of olive oil.

Spaghetti

The most popular shape in Italy; the name comes from the Italian word spaghi, which means 'lengths of cord'. Spaghetti originates from the south of Italy and is commonly used with tomato sauces, fresh vegetables, or fish.
