Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large heavy-based pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Increase heat to high. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up, until browned all over.
Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute. Pour in the red wine and let it reduce by half.
Add the canned tomatoes, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for at least 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook spaghetti in well-salted boiling water according to packet instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta water.
Toss the spaghetti through the sauce, adding pasta water to loosen if needed. Serve with grated parmesan.
