Greek Spaghetti Jamesson
Jamesson's

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 onions, sliced thin
a 28 ounce can tomatoes including juice, chopped coarse
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan plus, if desired, additional for sprinkling
1 pound vermicelli or other thin spaghetti

Directions:
In a deep large skillet, sauté the beef and the onions over moderately high heat, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are softened.

Add the tomatoes with the juice, the cinnamon, the salt, the pepper, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.

While the sauce is cooking, in a kettle of boiling salted water, cook the vermicelli for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is al dente, and drain it well.

In a bowl, toss the vermicelli with 1/2 cup of the remaining Parmesan, add half the sauce, and toss the mixture until it is combined well. Transfer the mixture to a shallow 2 quart serving dish, spoon the remaining sauce over the top,and sprinkle it with the additional Parmesan.

Serves 6.
