Finishing the oven-baked pasta - 30 minutes

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes. Add ground beef and cook it a few minutes more. Add paprika powder, oregano, chili powder, pepper and salt.

Then also add the canned tomatoes along with a bit of the pasta water. Let it cook for a few minutes before you'll add the cream. Drain the pasta and stir into the ground beef sauce.

Season with pepper and salt and stir a handful of grated cheese into the pasta. Divide the pasta over the oven dish and divide the rest of the grated cheese on top. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
