EV'S GREEK SPAGHETTI DINNER
Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients and instructions - it comes together really quickly and I'm a stickler for detail. This is really good and I do recommend you try spaghetti 'the Greek way'. I'm pretty sure you're going to like it.;-) If you want to make this a totally Greek dinner, then serve with a Greek salad, crusty bread, red wine, and fresh fruit for dessert.

Steps:
- In a medium to large sized pot, add the olive oil, onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, over high heat until onion is translucent and whole house smells good, about 4 minutes. Add ground beef and smash down with the tip of your wooden spoon to break it up. Brown beef well.
- When you think it's been browned long enough and it's time to give it a stir to redistribute the meat for more browning - STOP - wait another minute and a half to two minutes, and then stir up the meat. Do this repeatedly until all the meat is good and brown. This is important for the end result. For a good meat sauce, you want your meat to have browned sufficiently, and most people don't give it enough time. In all, this process should take 12-15 minutes.
- Add all the remaining ingredients, bring back to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 35 minutes, then cover pot and simmer a further 30 minutes. This is as long as I cook it for my family, the sauce is as thick as we like it. If you like your sauce thicker, cook it uncovered slightly longer before covering the pot (another 5-10 minutes?). If you like your sauce thinner, cover the pot after 25-30 minutes of simmering before continuing with the additional half hour.
- Fish out bay leaves, chilis (if using), allspice berries and cinnamon sticks.
- This recipe makes quite a lot of sauce, which is a good thing as you can freeze what's left to enjoy on another day, when there's little to no time to cook a homemade meal.
- To make authentic greek-style pasta: Cook pasta (I usually use spaghettini, but not exclusively) in the regular way until al dente. Drain.
- In the dry pot you cooked the pasta in, add the butter (BUTTER, not oil, not margarine); melt and brown the butter. This takes about 3-4 minutes at high heat. Turn off heat source and add spaghetti back to the pot. Toss to coat with browned butter.
- Put spaghetti in large platter, pour half of sauce over, sprinkle with about ½ cup myzithra cheese.
- Put the remaining sauce in a deep bowl and serve at the table for people to top off their pasta along with extra grated cheese.

GREEK SPAGHETTI
This is one of my favorite I-need-something-for-dinner-fast recipes. I always keep the feta on hand, so it's always ready-to-go. The best thing about it is, you can adapt it easily to your own taste. I have a friend who makes it with the feta that has basil and sun-dried tomatoes in it, and she recommends that, too, for a variation! I do recommend the butter tho, I tried it once with margarine and didn't care for the difference.
