Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant.

Add the beef mince and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.

Stir in the tomato passata and tomato paste until the beef is evenly coated.

Pour a small splash of the beef broth into the empty passata bottle or jar, shake well to loosen any remaining sauce, and add it to the pot.

Add the remaining beef broth, Italian mixed herbs, chilli flakes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the sauce to a steady boil.

Add the spaghetti, spreading it out in the pot. Let it sit for about 30 seconds to soften, then gently press it down so it is mostly submerged in the liquid.
