Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and grated carrot together, and cook for about 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to turn golden.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon into fine chunks, until it’s browned all over and no longer pink. Season it with salt and pepper.

Stir in the finely chopped garlic and cook for about a minute, just until fragrant.

Pour in the red wine and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the alcohol cooks off and the wine reduces slightly.

Stir in the hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes and beef stock. Mix everything well so it comes together into a smooth sauce.

Add the ground cloves, cinnamon, oregano and bay leaves. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 40–50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors deepen. The sauce is supposed to be thick. If you are simmering if for longer time for deeper flavors, you can add more beef stock and simmer longer (up to 2 hours).

While sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain the pasta in a colander.

Ladle the meat sauce over pasta in a bowl and serve the Greek spaghetti with meat sauce with plenty of grated cheese.
