Instructions:

1. Put your olive oil in a pot that is deep enough to contain everything, and keep it on a medium heat.

2. Add the onion and cook until it has softened. Once done, add the beef. Make sure to stir it in and break it up until it has gone brown.

3. Stir in the seasoning until it has been absorbed and then add the tomato paste and stir well. Pour in the stock and the tomatoes, and then add the spaghetti. Make sure the heat you use keeps everything on a steady simmer. Turn the lot so it is nicely mixed.

4. Once the sauce is almost cooked and the spaghetti is almost soft, turn the heat down and add room-temperature sour cream. This needs to be cooked until the sauce has thickened. Once this has happened, turn the heat off and add the cheese until it is nice and gooey.

5. Serve this with some garlic bread or some salad, with some diced tomatoes or parsley, whatever your preference is.
