Servings: 8

Notes:

Save the pasta water!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons Olive Oil

2 medium Yellow Onions, finely chopped

6 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped

1 pound Ground Beef, (preferably 20 percent fat), pork or dark meat turkey

16 ounces Spaghetti, pappardelle or other long pasta

½ cup Tomato Paste

3 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce

Kosher Salt and Black Pepper

Grated Parmesan, for serving

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, 3 minutes. Add beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.

Add pasta to the pot and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Meanwhile, add tomato paste to skillet and cook, stirring, until darkened, about 1 minute. Add 1½ cups water, Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon salt and simmer until slightly reduced, about 7 minutes.

Using tongs, transfer pasta directly from the pot to the skillet along with 1½ cups pasta water. Increase heat to high and simmer vigorously, tossing, until sauce reduces and coats the pasta, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with Parmesan.
