Ingredients
Scale
- 450 gr minced meat
- 300 gr penne rigate
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 1.5 tbsp tomato paste
- 450 gr fresh tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- 2 tbsp grated Idam
Instructions
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in minced garlic and let it cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add minced beef or veal to the pan and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- Stir regularly to ensure even cooking and a crumbly texture.
- Once browned, add coriander, cumin, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
- Mix well to coat the meat in spices and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste and mix well to intensify the sauce.
- Pour in blended fresh tomatoes and cook until they soften and form a thick sauce.
- Pour in hot water (just enough to cook the pasta) and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add penne rigate directly into the pot and stir to ensure it’s submerged.
- Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the pasta is tender, stir in grated Parmesan and Idam cheese.
- Mix well until the cheese melts and creates a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot and melty!
