Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 oz diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes (with their juices), oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Pour in the broth and stir well to combine.
Break the spaghetti in half and add it directly to the skillet, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the spaghetti is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the skillet from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
