Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup elbow macaroni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Break spaghetti into thirds and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large, deep skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and return the beef to the skillet.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, uncooked elbow macaroni, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender.
Gently fold in the cooked spaghetti, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated into the sauce and macaroni. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let sit for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
