Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet. Add the diced onion and cook until golden brown.
- Stir in the finely diced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Cooking the sauce
- Stir in the tomato puree, then pour in the red wine. Let it reduce for a few minutes.
- Add the tomato passata, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, herbs, and sugar. Season to taste.
- Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.
- Just before removing from heat, stir in the grated parmesan.
Preparing the rolls and spaghetti
- While your sauce is thickening, cut the tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the inside gently to create bowls.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic paste, chopped parsley, and extra parmesan. Brush this mixture generously inside and outside of the rolls.
- In a large pot, boil water and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and immediately toss with the rich sauce to combine.
Filling and baking
- Spoon the spaghetti mixture into each hollowed-out roll, ensuring some sauce sits on top.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over each filled roll.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the rolls on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted. For an extra touch, broil for a minute to brown the cheese slightly.
