The meat sauce in this healthy pasta recipe is a Greek take on a red chili. This recipe calls for ground lamb but you could easily use ground beef or ground turkey instead.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. butter

  • 20 oz. whole-wheat spaghetti

  • ¼ tsp. ground allspice

  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon

  • ½ tsp. ground pepper

  • 1 tsp. salt

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 28-ounce can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes

  • 1 cup red wine

  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

  • 2 pounds ground lamb

Method

  • 01
    Cook lamb in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring often and breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 7 to 8 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in wine and scrape up any browned bits. Add tomatoes and their juice, water, salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice.
  • 02
    Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 1 hour. (Add a little water if it seems too dry.)
  • 03
    About 20 minutes before the sauce is ready, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl, add butter and toss until melted. Transfer to a serving platter. Ladle the sauce over the spaghetti. Serve topped with cheese, if desired.
