Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck or ground beef at least 15% fat

2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

3 medium red tomatoes, chopped roughly

2 tablespoon good-quality tomato paste

3/4 cup coffee, freshly brewed (make extra to drink while dicing and chopping, you’re the cook, you deserve it!)

1/2 pound button mushrooms, cleaned, and sliced thickly

2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Pinch of sugar (to counteract the acid in the tomatoes)

1 teaspoon Italian or Mexican oregano

Salt and pepper to taste, as necessary

1/2 pound regular spaghetti (8 ounces)

Fresh Parmesan cheese, roughly grated (splurge, it’s worth it!)

Directions

Brew the coffee and set aside.

Grate the cheese and set aside.

Heat a large pot of water for the spaghetti.

In an iron or nonstick frying pan, heat the olive oil, then add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent.

Add the ground beef and cook until it is brown.

At this point, you can drain off the fat if you feel there is too much.

Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste mushrooms, and coffee to the meat sauce and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, adding water if the sauce becomes too condense.

While the sauce is cooking, keep an eye on the water and cook the spaghetti according to the directions on the package.

When the pasta is cooked, drain it and put into a large bowl you have preheated by pouring hot water into it, then throwing the water out.

Finish the sauce by adding the oregano then stir it in thoroughly.

Taste.

Add salt and pepper to your taste.

Pour over the pasta.

Sprinkle on the cheese and serve immediately.
