1. 1
   Gather and prep all ingredients.
2. 2
   In a large pot, whisk 5 Tbsp of tomato paste into 5 cups of cold water over medium heat until fully dissolved.
3. 3
   Add the ground beef, onion, garlic, all spices, vinegar, Worcestershire, and molasses. Bring to a boil, breaking up the beef with a whisk until it’s very fine in texture.
4. 4
   Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 1-1½ hours, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced. Taste for seasoning, adjust if need be.**
5. 5
   Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in salted water according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.
6. 6
   In a large bowl, whisk the reserved pasta water with the remaining 1 Tbsp tomato paste. Toss the hot pasta in this mixture to coat evenly.
7. 7
   Spoon the Skyline-style chili generously over the pasta and top with shredded cheddar and diced onion. For an optional classic touch, add oyster crackers and a dash of hot sauce.
