Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 3
Add the ground beef or lamb to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula.
Step 4
Once the meat is browned, add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the pan. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper to the sauce. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Add more salt, pepper, or spices as desired.
Step 8
While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti or pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 9
Serve the Egyptian spaghetti sauce over the cooked spaghetti or pasta.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
