Instructions for Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the red peppers in half and remove the seeds. Drizzle them with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes. Once roasted, remove them from the oven and cut them into small 1 cm pieces.

2. Prepare the Meat:
   Mix the flour with a pinch of salt, then coat the chopped meat pieces in the flour mixture. Heat some olive oil in a pot over medium heat, and brown the meat. Once the meat is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside.

3. Cook the Onions and Spices:
   In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become golden. Add the paprika and chopped roasted peppers and stir for about 1 minute. Return the browned meat to the pot and mix everything together.

4. Add Broth and Simmer:
   Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours until the meat becomes tender.

5. Cook the Spaghetti:
   About 10 minutes before the meat is ready, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add some salt and olive oil, then cook the spaghetti until it reaches your desired tenderness. Drain the spaghetti and set it aside.

6. Finish the Meat Sauce:
   Just before the meat sauce finishes cooking, stir in the cream and a little extra salt. Mix well, then remove from heat.

7. Serve:
   Place the cooked spaghetti in a serving dish. Pour the meat sauce over the top and garnish with chopped chives. Serve hot and enjoy!
