For an even richer flavor, consider using ground beef with a slightly higher fat content. Remember to drain off any excess grease during cooking. Adjust the amount of harissa paste according to your spice preference. A little goes a long way! Fresh basil can be used in place of dried basil. Add it at the very end for the best flavor. Serve over your favorite pasta – spaghetti, pappardelle, or rigatoni all work beautifully. Garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of indulgence.
