Ingredients
- Salt and pepper
- 1 lb ground beef (at least 20 percent fat)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2-3 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 lb pasta, save pasta water
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat a large heavy pot over high heat and add the beef, breaking it up into small pieces and seasoning with salt and pepper; cook until browned and cooked through (4-5 min).
- Push the beef to one side and add the onion and carrots to the rendered fat, season, and cook until the onion is translucent (5 min).
- Stir in the curry paste and cook until darkened and fragrant, then add the tomato sauce, swishing a bit of water in the can to get it all into the pot.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and let it cook while the pasta boils until al dente.
- Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then add the drained pasta to the sauce, stir in the cream, season to taste, and loosen with pasta water if needed before serving hot.
