Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
- ½ teaspoons Turmeric
- ½ teaspoons Coriander
- ½ teaspoons Smoked Paprika
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 whole Small Onion Peeled And Diced
- 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 bottle (750ml Size) Dry Red Wine
- 1 pound Linguine
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- ¼ cups Freshly Grated Parmesan
- Fresh Parsley, Finely Chopped As Needed For Garnish
Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Brown the beef in it completely while you break it up with a spoon. While the beef cooks season it with the salt, crushed red pepper, turmeric, coriander and smoked paprika. Once it is completely cooked add in the garlic, onion and tomato paste. Let them cook and get fragrant for just a minute while you stir them in. Lastly, pour in that lovely bottle of wine. Let the sauce gently boil for 10 minutes.
While the sauce cooks, get a large pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Cook the linguine in it for just 5 minutes to soften. When the linguine is ready, the sauce should also be ready. Use a slotted spoon or mesh strainer to scoop the pasta right into the pot of sauce. Let it finish cooking in the sauce for another 5 minutes. It will absorb the wine! When it is done cooking, stir in the butter and parmesan cheese to finish the dish. Then take the pot off of the heat. Scoop the pasta into pretty bowls and top it off with a big sprinkle of the chopped parsley. Enjoy!
