Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 3.5 cups chicken broth
- 12 ounces dried spaghetti
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a light simmer.
Break the spaghetti in half (if necessary to fit in the skillet) and add it to the sauce. Submerge the pasta as much as possible using a spoon or tongs.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the spaghetti cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If the sauce becomes too thick, add additional chicken broth, 1/4 cup at a time, to keep it saucy.
Once the spaghetti is tender and cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.
Top the spaghetti with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Pair with extra Parmesan on the side if desired.
