Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, warm olive oil over moderate heat until it’s shimmering. Add cumin seeds, and sauté for 30 seconds to a minute, until they’re fragrant and darken in color. Add onions with a good pinch of salt; sauté a few minutes, until softened and translucent. Add garlic and ginger and sauté a minute longer.
  • 2. Add the garam masala and paprika, and cook, stirring often for 30 seconds. This is called blooming: cooking spices in warm oil to wake them up and cook out their “rawness”.
  • 3. Now add the beef with another pinch of salt, and cook, breaking up lumps until no longer pink. Then stir in tomato paste, and cook another 2 minutes. Add tomatoes. Stir, bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer, and cook, partially covered for 15 minutes.
  • 4. While that’s cooking, boil water for pasta and cook pasta.
  • 5. Finish ragu with sugar and heavy cream. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Serve over pasta.
