08 - 240ml beef stock
09 - ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

→ Bread Bowls and Toppings

15 - 6 crusty white rolls
16 - 100g butter, melted
17 - 30g parmesan for butter
18 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
19 - 3 garlic cloves, made into paste
20 - 200g mozzarella, shredded

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat olive oil in a pan and cook the diced onion until golden. Add the garlic and cook briefly. Add the ground beef and brown thoroughly. Incorporate the tomato puree and mix well.
02 - Pour in the red wine and reduce slightly. Add the tomato passata, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, and sugar. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 25 minutes until thickened. Stir in parmesan cheese.
03 - Cut the tops off the white rolls and hollow out the centers. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic paste, parsley, and parmesan cheese. Brush the mixture inside and outside of the rolls.
04 - Boil the spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain and transfer directly into the prepared sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
05 - Fill the prepared rolls with the pasta mixture, ensuring some sauce is placed on top. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the fillings. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted. Optionally, broil for additional browning of the cheese.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth.
02 - Feel free to adjust spices or incorporate additional vegetables for variation.
