Classic British Meat Sauce Pasta

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt.

Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Meat Sauce:

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and oregano.

Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Combine:

Toss the cooked pasta with the meat sauce, ensuring the pasta is well-coated.

Serve:

Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
