Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Step 3
Add canned tomatoes (break them up with your spoon), beef broth, bay leaves, and allspice. Stir and bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, ~10 minutes. Drain and add directly to the sauce.
Step 5
Stir the pasta into the sauce and simmer 3–4 minutes until flavors meld. Squeeze the lemon over top and season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Serve hot in shallow bowls. Discard bay leaves before eating.
