Ingredients

For 4 people:

1. 400 grams of pasta of your choice (e.g., spaghetti, penne)
2. 500 grams of ground beef
3. 1 large onion, finely chopped
4. 2 cloves of garlic, minced
5. 1 can (400 grams) of peeled tomatoes, chopped
6. 1 can (140 grams) of tomato paste
7. 150 ml beef broth
8. 2 tablespoons olive oil
9. 1 tablespoon PASTA LA VISTA (Pasta Seasoning)
10. Salt and pepper to taste
11. Optional: fresh basil and Parmesan cheese for garnish

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, add the minced garlic after 2 minutes, and cook for another minute.
2. Add the ground beef to the pan. Cook until browned and crumbly, breaking up the meat with a spoon.
3. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.
5. Add the peeled tomatoes and beef broth to the pan. Stir everything well.
6. Add the PASTA LA VISTA (Pasta Seasoning). This is the secret ingredient for that authentic taste! Season with salt and pepper.
7. Let the sauce simmer gently for at least 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Simmering longer is always welcome for an even richer taste.
8. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions in plenty of salted water.
9. Drain the pasta and serve with the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips for the Best Flavor

• Let the sauce simmer long enough. The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor becomes.
• Taste the sauce before adding the pasta and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of chili flakes.
