Method
- Chop the onions. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and soften the onions over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the mince and 5 g of salt. Brown over medium to high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, breaking up any clumps with a spoon.
- Add the garlic powder, paprika and bay leaves and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomato pulp and 150 ml of water. Partially cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes. The mince should reach 71 °C.
- While the sauce simmers, bring 5 litres of water to the boil with the remaining 10 g of salt. Cook the spaghetti for the time on the packet, about 9 to 11 minutes. Reserve 100 ml of cooking water and drain.
- Remove the bay leaves. Loosen the sauce with a little reserved water if needed, toss with the spaghetti, and serve.
Shopping tip
Brown the mince before adding the tomato. Use two batches if the saucepan is small.
