Add the onion, season with half a teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for five minutes. Add the carrot, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about four minutes more.<\/p>\n<p>While the vegetables cook, combine the beef and wine in a medium bowl; break up the beef with a spoon.<\/p>\n<p>Add the beef mixture to the vegetables, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown, about three minutes. Stir in the red pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg.<\/p>\n<p>Add the tomatoes to the skillet and simmer until the mixture is slightly thickened, about three minutes. Stir in the parsley and toss with the pasta.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recipe obtained from www.delish.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1 jannah_ad' style='display: none;' data-query-id='c83cdb44189f3c72098c8c0c3c49b720'><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This easy to make pasta dish is a real crowd pleaser and will please the whole family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":197370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"Caxton local media","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3686],"tags":[19396,8920,7795,18464,1083,11946,9240,20936,8000,7796],"class_list":["post-197367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle-news","tag-30-minutes-meals","tag-cooking","tag-easy-cooking","tag-easy-meals","tag-food","tag-kitchen","tag-meat","tag-midweek-meals","tag-pasta","tag-recipe"],"amp_enabled":true,"category_labels":{"Category":"Lifestyle","SubCategory":"Entertainment"},"tag_labels":["30 minutes meals","cooking","Easy Cooking","easy meals","food","kitchen","meat","midweek meals","pasta","recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
