Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
  • 500g ground beef (12% fat)
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 80ml red apple vinegar
  • 500g tomato passata
  • 240ml beef stock
  • ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ bunch fresh basil, chopped
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 20g freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 200g spaghetti
  • 6 crusty white rolls
  • 100g butter, melted
  • 30g parmesan cheese for butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, made into paste
  • 200g mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until golden, then add garlic. Add ground beef and brown evenly before mixing in tomato puree.
  2. Stir in the apple vinegar; let it reduce slightly. Then add passata, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, herbs, and sugar. Simmer for about 25 minutes until thickened. Finish by stirring in grated parmesan.
  3. While simmering, cut the tops off the rolls and hollow out the insides. Combine melted butter with garlic paste, parsley, and additional parmesan. Brush this mixture inside and outside of each roll.
  4. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and immediately toss with the meat sauce.
  5. Fill each hollowed roll with the spaghetti mixture and top generously with shredded mozzarella.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8–10 minutes until the bread is crisp and cheese melts; optionally broil to brown the cheese.
