1 tablespoon olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Keep aside a cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until soft.
Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have softened and any liquid has mostly cooked off.
Add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until there is no pink left and the meat juices run clear. For food safety, ground beef pieces should reach 160°F internally.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the beef stock and simmer for about 5 minutes.
