  1. 1

    Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened.

    Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned all over, about 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add the crushed tomatoes and oregano. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.

  5. 5
