Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★

Essential Ingredients and Tools

• Spaghetti
• Spaghetti Sauce (Bolognese Sauce)
• Ground Meat
• White Onion (Purple onion also works)

Quantities

Determine how many servings you want to make before starting. One serving is enough for 2 people.

Per serving:

• Spaghetti: 180g (adjust according to appetite)
• Ground Meat: 80g (adjust according to appetite)
• Onion: About half a large onion (approx. 150g, typically twice the weight of the meat)
• Spaghetti Sauce: 300g (adjust as needed)
• Cooking Oil: 10-15ml

Instructions

• Add water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Then add the spaghetti (cook for 6–12 minutes).
• While the water is heating up, you can prepare the sauce, but keep an eye on the pasta cooking time.
• Dice the onion.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add the diced onion.
• Stir constantly to prevent the onion from burning until it becomes translucent.
• Add the ground meat and continue stirring (breaking it up) until the meat turns brown.
• Add the spaghetti sauce and stir briefly.
• Drain the cooked spaghetti and mix it with the sauce (or simply pour the sauce directly over the pasta).

Additional Notes

• Spaghetti comes in various thicknesses. Check the cooking time indicated on the pasta package before cooking.
• Spaghetti sauce is not ketchup. The ketchup used in daily life is accurately called "ketchup," while spaghetti sauce, although both are seasoned tomato-based sauces, uses different seasonings.
