It's a Greek dish (ground beef pasta sauce). Cooked with tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, whole cloves & cinnamon sticks simmered for half an hour to collect all the flavour.
Best pasta sauce, ever

Nope.
I make all my paste myself (he said, instantly regretting saying that)

The secret to "creepers" I find, is dried chillies.

Crumble a few in & simmer away. Nuclear curry will ensue after a few mouthfulls.



ps
Wash your hands very well after crumbling. Very well!
