Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until it is tender but still firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the onion.

3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté just to coat them with oil, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium, add the Worcestershire sauce, and cover the skillet. Cook until the onions are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

4. Uncover the skillet, add the beef, and cook, stirring to break up the lumps, just until it is no longer pink, about 1 minute. Add the barbecue sauce and crushed tomatoes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and Tabasco sauce.

5. Drain the pasta and divide it among six shallow bowls. Spoon the sauce over each portion, and serve immediately.
