• 1 lb ground beef, at least 20 percent fat
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2-3 tbsp red curry paste
• 15-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 lb pasta, save pasta water
• 1 cup heavy cream
• salt

Instructions

1. Heat a large heavy pot over high heat and add the beef, breaking it up into small pieces and seasoning with salt and pepper; cook until browned and cooked through (4-5 min).
2. Push the meat to one side and add the diced onion and carrots.
3. Season with salt and pepper and let everything caramelize.
4. Add the red curry paste and mix it in.
5. Add the tomato sauce, using a little water to get it all out, and let it simmer.
6. In salted water, cook your pasta until just shy of al dente, and save a bit of that pasta water.
7. Add the noodles to the simmering sauce, then add the heavy cream.
8. Finish with more salt and pepper, and a bit of pasta water until you get the desired consistency.
