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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, uncooked elbow macaroni, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gently fold in the cooked spaghetti, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated into the sauce and macaroni. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
