Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil salted water in a large skillet. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, ~9 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, combine ground beef, minced onion, oregano, and cumin. Brown over medium-high heat, breaking meat apart with a spoon, ~5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and red wine vinegar. Stir to combine, then simmer uncovered for 8 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Return cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently with the sauce until fully coated.

  5. Step 5

    Divide between bowls and top with crumbled feta. Serve hot.
