Instructions
- Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Pat the ground beef dry, do not rinse it, and season it with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, salt the water well, and cook the spaghetti until al dente, tender with a firm center. Start tasting two minutes before the package time, then drain it.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, then cook until translucent and softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and rosemary, stirring until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
- Add the seasoned ground beef and break it into small pieces. Cook until deeply browned and it reaches 160°F (71°C), about 6-8 minutes. Wash the board, knife, and hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer until slightly reduced and glossy, about 5-7 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt and black pepper.
- Toss the drained spaghetti with the sauce, then finish with the parmesan and serve when the pasta is coated and the cheese is melted.
