So, who doesn’t love pasta?
Hi guys, I am so excited to be able to share with you this recipe. I have been making this pasta sauce for quite some time now and after lots of tweaking, it’s a keeper. The best part of this recipe is that I use an array of spices which makes it rich and tasty and you can use it in so many other dishes, lasagna, sloppy joes, chilli and it’s also good to freeze. I call it the best pasta sauce because once you taste it, you will definitely agree with me. So let’s get started, this is the best pasta sauce recipe.
Ingredients
- 500gms minced beef
- 2 onions
- 6 cloves of garlic
- A thumb of ginger
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Tomato paste
- 700mls Passatta
- A bunch of coriander
Spices
- Garam masala
- Cumin
- Paprika
- Coriander powder
- Curry Powder
- Italian seasoning
- 1 Beef bouillon cube
- Black pepper
METHOD
- Chop up your onions into medium sized, crash the garlic and ginger and set them aside.
- In a pan, on medium heat, put 2 tablespoons of olive oil and put the onions, stir for a while until they become tender.
- Once that is done, take your meat and drop it in and stir until it is partially cooked.
- Now, put your garlic and ginger and stir to mix it up altogether.
- Then it’s now time to make it come alive with the spices, a teaspoon each of all the spices except the black pepper.
- Give it a good stir to make the spices get into the meat.
- Then take 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and bouillon cube and put in the meat and stir it up.
- Now it’s time for your passatta, pour it in and add a quarter cup of water too make it a bit more saucy, then put a teaspoon of sugar to cut the tomato acidity a bit.
- Cover it up to simmer for a few minutes, while you chop up your coriander and set aside.
- After some time, stir and add salt and black pepper to taste and put a tablespoon of Italian seasoning, then stir and cover.
- Once it has reduced to your liking, take it off the heat and add your coriander then mix it altogether.
- After that, you are done, all you have to do is make your pasta,serve and enjoy. Sprinkle some parmesan to make it even more delicious.
NOTE:You can substitute beef for turkey and canned tomatoes for the passatta and this recipe makes a lot of sauce, which you can easily freeze and use it again during the week and makes it perfect when it comes to meal planning and freezer meals.

wow! now i want to make my own! im a huge fan of tomato based pastas!
My pasta recipe is very similar to this one actually. Guess our mothers have similar taste^^ I try cutting down on meat and am exprimenting with vegan alternatives^^
Oh wow, I bet the kitchen smells amazing when you make this sauce! I love ginger and cumin, but I’ve never added either to pasta sauce. I must try this sometime.
I hope you like it.
Dear Joan, your posts are always a pleasure to read. The pasta sauce does seem incredible. Thanks for explaining the process with such simplicity.
Thank you so much.
I love pasta! It’s definitely my weakness. I have to try this recipe 🙂
I’ve never made a pasta sauce with coriander before. I can’t wait to see how it taste in the recipe. Pasta is definitely my favorite food.
I’ve been looking for a good pasta sauce. I want to buy cans/jars as little as possible. I’m looking for fresh this year.
That sauce sounds amazing. I usually just get my sauce from a jar. I will have to try this recipe out 🙂
Wow, this is a fantastic recipe you’ve shared. To me, all of this is about the sauce. You can have good pasta but if you wont have a good sauce, its nothing.
I have literally been searching for pasta sauce recipes all week haha I’m just not having it with store brands lately – i have to try yours!!
This is a great sauce recipe. The addition of ginger is unexpected.
Ooh this sounds great! We eat a lot of pasta sauces and they can get quite monotonous when we are having the same recipe every time. I will definitely give yours a try and see how it goes down with the kids!
Wow!! would love to try this one, I have to taste it, it really looks delicious. I love passatta and your touched of ginger, maybe I should try with turkey since I’m not really a fan of beef but your photos are mouthwatering to stare at. Thanks for sharing your precious recipe!
With a spice list like that how could this not be the best pasta sauce recipe ever? I’ll have to try it out for myself soon!
