Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions, garlic, hot red chili flakes, carrots, celery and ground beef. Breaking the beef up with a spoon as you stir, cook until meat losses its raw appearance and vegetables are tender- about 10 min.

Add milk and simmer 10 min.

Add salt, pepper, tomato paste, tomatoes with their juices and bring to the boil. Break tomatoes up with a spoon so that they are in small pieces. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened- about 30 min.

Add parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Toss with 12 1/2 oz (375 g) spaghetti, cooked, and 1/4 cup (60 mL) grated Canadian Parmesan cheese.
