Ingredients
1 onion, diced
5 tablespoons oil, divided
1 pound beef, ground
11/2 teaspoons salt, adjust to your taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1/2 teaspoon turmeric, ground
1 teaspoon Advieh (Persian spice mix)
4 tablespoons tomato paste
Recipe
In a large frying pan, saute the onions with 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat for 10 minutes or until translucent.
Add the ground meat and continue to saute for 5 minutes on medium-high heat, or until the meat has turned light brown.
Add salt, pepper, turmeric, cinnamon and tomato paste, and stir over medium-high heat for 5 additional minutes.
Once the all the spices and tomato paste have been well incorporated into the meat.
In a large pot bring 10-12 cups of water and the salt to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook on high heat for 10 minutes. Pasta should still be somewhat al dente at the end of the boiling process.
Drain the pasta using a colander and rinse ever so briefly to remove some but not all of the starch.
Pour the meat into the pasta and mix.
And let it cook on the low heat for 30min.
