Nice twist to a simple pasta dish. So easy! I can see doing this for a big crowd with a great bread, huge salad and grilled veges. I had this last night at a friend's. She thinks she got it out of a fairly recent issue of Bon Appetit, but can't verify because she hand wrote it on an envelope.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb ground sirloin or 1 lb ground turkey
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup dry red wine
2 tomatoes, diced
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
8 ounces penne or 8 ounces rigatoni pasta
freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat.
2. Add meat and onions and saute until brown and season with salt and pepper.
3. Reduce heat to medium and add cinnamon, cayenne and cloves and saute 5 minutes.
4. Add wine, tomatoes and tomato sauce and simmer until thick.
5. Better if it sits overnight and is rewarmed.
6. Serve over cooked pasta.
