Method
- Bring 2 litres of water to the boil and add the oil and garlic cloves. Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook until al dente.

- In another frying pan, cook the minced meat as desired, either fried or boiled, and season with salt and pepper.
- When the pasta is ready, drain it and mix it with the tomato sauce and meat. Cook everything over very low heat, stirring to combine the ingredients well.
